Poiana Brașov, Brașov County

Poiana Brașov is the perfect destination for skiers who appreciate variety. With slopes for all levels of experience and modern facilities, it's an excellent choice for those looking to improve their skills.

In the 2023/2024 season, the slopes opened on November 30th.

"You will be able to ski in the upper area of the Lupului and Drumul Roșu slopes, exiting towards the Ruia chairlift station (the 6-seat chairlift), as well as on the Kanzel and Doamnei slopes, with an exit to Drumul Roșu, then towards the Ruia chairlift. Also, the beginner slopes, Bradul and Stadion, will be open.

The condition of the slopes is very good, especially as recent negative temperatures have allowed the non-stop operation of the artificial snow-making facilities, supplemented by snowfall. Under these conditions, intensive work has been done in the last few days to make the opening of the slopes possible.

The layer of packed snow on the upper part of the mountain slopes has a thickness of 30 centimeters and an average width of 20 meters," the Brașov City Hall has reported in this context.
