Authorities plan to expand the most popular ski resort in Romania
The City Hall of Braşov, in central Romania, plans to expand the Poiana Braşov ski domain to accommodate the growing number of skiers who crowd to its slopes every weekend. Poiana Brasov is the most popular mountain resort in Romania.
It plans to expand it by 30 hectares and add another 10 km of slopes, as well as new means of cable transport and additional parking places.
The expansion is covered by a study done by the Poiana Brașov Tourism Association. It entails the expansion towards the town of Râșnov, in the Cheișoara area, the adding of two new slopes and connecting slopes totaling 10 km, the building of new means of cable transport (a gondola lift and a chairlift), providing the needed infrastructure for artificial snow for the new slopes and the lighting infrastructure for them.
