The well-known winter sport centre Poiana Brasov is situated 170 km away from Bucharest and is one of the most frequented resorts in Romania, mostly because of its modern sports infrastructure, including artificial skating rink, sport fields, riding centres and a Gondola lift with a capacity of 2000 skiers per hour. There is an Olympic ski-track, two 80 metres high ski-jumps, and 12 downhill and slalom runs. One of the advantages of the resort is the artificial snow providing insulation which enables the most passionate skiers to practice their favourite sport from autumn until spring. Another attraction you will find here is the opportunity to ride in a horse-drawn sleigh.
Poiana Brasov is perfect for beginners. The nursery slopes
are wide and gentle and there is a plateau at the top of
the mountain. The excellent English speaking ski
instructors make learning great fun, and normally there
are about 10-12 people appointed to each class. At the
end of the learning week most beginners are able to ski at
the blue run from the top of the Christianu Mare all the
way down to the village.
This is a good resort for intermediate skiers to improve
their skills as the blue runs are not too testing and not too
crowded, great for perfecting your parallel turn. Try the
red runs that take you over varied terrain. Please make the
most of the excellent ski school.
Advanced skiers will find skiing limited as there are only a
few black runs at this resort.
Floodlights have been installed on the lower slopes so that
you can enjoy your skiing until 9 o’clock in the evenings.
This gives you the chance to enjoy the après-ski until late
at night, have a lie in and still get a full day’s skiing!
There is a well maintained system of ski lifts, open daily
from 09:00 am - 09:00 pm. Each cable car is closed for
one day per week for maintenance.
Poiana Brasov is fun, lively and great value for money.
There is a wide range of bars, restaurants and discos to
choose from, open until late in the evening. For an
authentic Romanian evening we recommend an evening
at either "Dacian’s Lounge" or "The Outlaws Hut". Both
restaurants have a lively atmosphere with Romanian folk
music and serve delicious and plentiful cuisine.
- Dracula’s Castle - a day out to really get your teeth into!
Legend has it that Count Dracula, the mediaeval Prince
of Transylvania, lived in Bran Castle. A fantastic trip with
lunch at Moeciu.
- City tour of Brasov with its fascinating historic centre is
just 13 km away from the resort.
- Peles Castle: This was the former residence of the
Romanian Royal Family. Set in beautiful surroundings,
with the breathtaking interior. We recommend this for a
half day visit.
- Wine tasting at the "Carpathian Stag" restaurant and
wine cellar alongside folk music, dancing and
Romanian cuisine.
