Hotels near Pârtia Bradul

Pârtia Bradul is where Poiana Brașov teaches people to ski. The run is 430 m long with just 71 m of vertical, and its width plus the even angle make it the one slope in the domain where a first-timer can take ten runs without meeting a real pitch. Teleschi Bradul, the drag lift that serves it, costs 2 points per ascent on a points pass, the cheapest ride at Poiana Brașov.

Two things separate Bradul from Stadion, the other beginner run. Bradul carries a floodlight installation, and Teleschi Bradul keeps turning until 18:00 while every other lift in the domain shuts at 16:00, which hands learners two quiet hours after the day skiers have gone. Rental shops and ski schools cluster around the base, so a lesson, boots and a lift ticket can be sorted in one stop. A child pass costs 140 lei, roughly 27 EUR.

Pro Tip: Book lessons for a weekday morning. Teleschi Bradul backs up badly on Saturday afternoons, while the floodlit session between 16:00 and 18:00 is the emptiest snow in Poiana Brașov.
