Poiana Brasov

Beginners

The wide, gentle nursery areas are in the centre of the resort – with snow cannons on the main ‘learn to ski’ Bradul slope – and the plateau at the top of the mountain, reached by gondola, provide areas ideal for beginners. Very attentive, English-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.

In recognition of their high standards the ski school has been a regular Neilson award winner with one of the best ski and board schools in the Neilson programme.

Intermediates

Having a compact lift 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 and the teaching is excellent.

Advanced

Advanced skiers will find Poiana Brasov limited as there are few challenging runs.

Snowboarding

The gentle slopes are ideal for mastering the basics. Beginners should book a ‘Learn to Snowboard’ package.
