What visitors say about the resort

Poiana Brașov is praised as Romania's best-equipped resort, with hotels right by the slopes, modern gondolas, ski schools with Russian-speaking instructors and prices noticeably lower than in the Alps. Brasov and Bran Castle are nearby, offering plenty to do on a non-ski day.

Criticisms include the limited terrain, around 14 km, which can become boring for confident skiers by the second day. The other issue is queues on weekends and holidays. Visitors also complain about thaws because the elevation is relatively low.
