Poiana-Brasov

Poiana-Brasov in Romania, another area that is essentially a miniature of the Alps, offers world-class skiing in a more intimate setting with fewer visitors. And certainly, it is still among the least expensive ski areas in Europe. Poiana-Brasov has nearly doubled in size since 2010, and now hosts occasions like alpine skiing festivals and figure skating contests.

No of your level of experience, the resort covers all the bases with two beginner pistes, two intermediate pistes, and three advanced pistes for just €117 for six days. A lift pass for just one day costs €31.

The greatest area to use your skis is on the picturesque slopes that are surrounded by pine trees. There are lots of ski runs to explore, totaling more than 24km. In the surrounding village, there are many places to stay and eat, and you can stay warm at night with mulled wine and typical Romanian food. You are only 14 kilometers from Brasov, a medieval city, and 23 km from Dracula's Castle if you're seeking day adventures away from the slopes.
