Poiana Brasov  SKI Map.
Poiana Brasov was rated top Value-For-Money by English guests many of whom return year after year. Set amidst the beautiful pine forests of the Carpathian Mountains, the picturesque, purpose-built resort of Poiana Brasov has a compact lift system and offers an excellent range of skiing particularly suited to beginners. Nursery slopes are situated in the village and on the plateau at the top of the mountain. The ski area offers easy progression to the main pistes with the added advantage of skiing back to the village on a long blue run. For non-skiers there is a great range of activities and excursions available, not to mention the real Dracula's castle.

Beginners

The wide, gentle nursery areas in the centre of the resort – with 2 snow cannons on main ‘learn to ski’ Bradul slope – and the plateau at the top of the mountain, reached by gondola, provide areas ideal for beginners. Very effective, English or German - speaking instruction is provided by the ski school.

Beginners soon progress on to the main ski area and, by the end of the week, most will be skiing all the way back to the village on the long, confidence-building blue run from the top of the Christianul Mare.

Intermediates

Having a compact system means that there is plenty of scope for intermediates to improve. Three red runs provide skiing over varied terrain, and if you want to take it easy and perfect your parallel turns, there is a long, enjoyable blue run leading back to the village. You are recommended to take advantage of the instruction provided by the local ski school: It’s really good value for money.

Advanced

Advanced skiers will find Poiana Brasov good because there are some challenging runs. Lupului (Wolf) black run has almost 3 kilometers long and 800m altitude difference, is recommended for advanced skiers.

Snowboarding

The gentle slopes are ideal for mastering the basics. Beginners should book a ‘Learn to Snowboard’ package. Only Ski boots available in resort.
