Hotels near Subteleferic

Subteleferic takes its name from its line, dropping 650 m over 2,200 m directly beneath the Telecabina Capra Neagră cable car, which means every passenger overhead watches your turns. The grading is difficult and the pitch is honest rather than extreme, a consistent fall line that suits skiers working on rhythm rather than anyone hunting a couloir.

Shade covers much of Subteleferic through the morning, so it holds firm snow longer than Drumul Roșu and can be slick before 11:00. A dedicated drag lift, Teleschi Subteleferic, serves the run when the cable car is busy, and because the piste ends beside the Telecabina Capra Neagră lower station the laps are short. Of the advanced terrain at Poiana Brașov, this is the run that most often closes early for thin cover, since it faces the valley and catches whatever thaw the afternoon brings.

Pro Tip: Ski Subteleferic after 11:00, once the sun has worked on the upper half, and check the Subteleferic webcam on the operator's slope page first; it is frequently shut for cover while Pârtia Lupului stays open.
