Itinerary description

|
Show original
Poiana Brasov is a district of Brasov considered one of the most popular European ski resorts, and a great tourist destination especially - obviously - in the winter. It is located at 1020 meters and gained even more popularity during 2013 when it hosted the European Winter Youth Olympic Festival, especially in terms of figure skating and alpine skiing. In principle, despite the location of the place and the harsh temperatures of Romania, it is unexpectedly a place that has rather mild winter temperatures (the winter average is -4, not so much compared to the other temperatures in Romania). But what can we see in Poiana Brasov?
Surely one of the reasons why one decides to go on holiday to this locality is the snow and the ski resort: obviously, consequently, among the first things to do when you arrive in Poiana Brasov is to take the Kanzel cable car, which at the ski resort. At this point we can start an excursion that can also be guided if we want, which will take us to the top of the mountain, up to 1800 meters. Obviously for some it is not possible to reach such heights entirely on foot, but the excursion remains nothing short of a must due to the fantastic panoramas such as the views of Piatra Craiului.

There is no shortage of hotels even in the most inaccessible places on the mountain, and from this one can easily understand how these places are equipped for tourism in general. Those who love snow and lifestyle cannot therefore avoid booking a stay in hotels overlooking the ski slope and therefore offering a truly breathtaking snowy panorama. And also, for those who want, here it will be possible to taste the specialty of the area, namely bear meat, which is cooked in different ways.
There is a sports center which we can visit to better understand the typical mentality of the place, which obviously also includes all the typical winter sports. Although it is a rather simple place to visit even in a few hours, it has nothing to envy to much larger tourist places: everything you want to see when you go on vacation is concentrated in a rather small space.

In fact, tourists can also visit the small monastery, furnished and created in perfect mountain style - with wooden furniture and classic furnishings - which is very reminiscent of the ancient style.

It is also possible to find a very wide range of restaurants and bars, where you can taste the traditions of Poiana Brasov but you can also savor the classic
hot chocolate while the snow is falling. In fact, despite its small size, this district of Brasov has equipped itself in every way to welcome even the most demanding tourists.

Finally, those who go on holiday to Poiana Brasov cannot avoid visiting the small park which is always present within the same area, which may seem like a sort of small forest and which certainly seems like an enchanted world both during the summer, but above all when it is covered by the meters of snow falling on the mountain.
