Skiing in Romania, Brasov Poiana
Poiana is one of the most frequented resorts in Romania, mostly because of its modern sports infrastructure, including artificial skating ring, sport fields and riding centers. There is an Olympic ski-track and 9 downhill and slalom runs (the biggest number of ski slopes in the country) covering over 20 km. One of the advantages of the resort is the artificial snow making installation which enables the most passionate skiers to practice their favorite sport from autumn until spring. Another attraction you will find here is the opportunity to ride in a horse-drawn sleigh.
The ski area stretches along one side of the Postavaru Massif. As Poiana Brasov is situated at an altitude of 1030 m, there are ski slopes 4600 m long and covering a descent of 600 m. The ski slopes of various difficulty degrees are equipped with 2 cable cars, one gondola and 8 ski lifts with a capacity of 7000 people per hour.

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 and German 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 can afford to ski at the blue run from the top of the Cristianu Mare all the way down to the village. This is also 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.
Floodlights have been installed on the lower slopes so that you can enjoy your skiing until 9 o’clock in the evenings. For snow boarders, the gentle slopes are ideal for learning, and if you are an experienced boarder there are boards available for hire too. There are also 9 km of marked runs for cross-country skiing.
