More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
A cold wind from the Postăvaru Massif pushes across the slope as you tighten your boots and test the edge of a borrowed ski. Poiana Brașov opens like a sheet of compacted snow below a low forest line; the pines seem to lean into the slope, daring you to cut a turn. A licensed instructor meets you in Brasov, drives the narrow road up, and walks you through gear and the first weighted flex of a downhill stance.
