Poiana Brasov

The purpose built ski resort of Poiana Brasov has long been a staple of the UK holiday brochures, attracting a strange breed of curious skier on a budget for the best part of 30 years. Today its charms are less obvious. Prices are now relatively high and while new hotels have been built at a rate unlike anywhere else in the country - increasing the resort’s capacity four times over – very little has been spent on improving what was always a very limited ski area. Queues for cable cars during the ski season can be long - at weekends over two hours – and the four or five pistes very crowded.
