Seven Nights in the Snowy Realms of Dracula

 

Enjoy a winter holiday in the magical land of Transylvania!
Transylvania Live invites you to spend 8 wonderful days in Poiana Brasov (1030m-1750m resort altitude), the best ski resort in Central-Eastern Europe. Situated at the foot of Postavaru Mountain (altitude of 1803m), it is surrounded by dense pinewood forests in a magnificent, mountainous natural setting. Poiana Brasov is the most sophisticated resort in Romania with a well established sports infrastructure; it boasts a whole host of activities, such as ice-skating, field sports, horse riding, bowling, swimming in Olympic sized pools and far more. The piste has an Olympic ski-run, 9 downhill and slalom runs (the largest number of ski slopes in the country) covering over 20 km and 9km of marked cross-country ski-runs.

The Ana Ski School is world renowned as one of the best ski schools in Europe and North America! After a day on the slopes you can enjoy continental or traditional Romanian cuisines accompanied by traditional folk singers. Further options include horse-drawn sleigh rides, lively bars, clubs, discos, indoor swimming pools, saunas, massages, and fitness centres.

For those wishing to diversify their Transylvanian experience, the resort is ideally located to explore the local area and visit a great number of Transylvania’s most cherished heritage sites. The medieval city of Brasov is only 12 km away, perfect for shoppers, night-owls and those intending to explore sites of cultural and historical interest.
