Poiana Brasov is a mountain resort, renowned for the winter sports
practiced here, being located 13 kilometers away from the Brasov
Municipality at the feet of the Postavaru Massif, on its northern
slope. The first documentary mention of Poiana Brasov dates back
from the year 1427 and refers to the shepherding activities.
Another mention dates back from the year 1895 and refers to the
skiers that climbed Postavaru. In the year 1906, on the Postavaru
Massif the first ski contest is organized. Until the year 1950 in
the resort there were only few cottages and small villas scattered
at the bottom of the forest. The year 1951 marks the total
changing. It is the year in which Poaina Brasov becomes the host of
the World Universities Winter sports contest, reason for opening
the first modern hotel and the first cable car, having a length of
2150 meters and delivered the tourists on top of the Postavaru
Mountain, until “Cristianul Mare”, at the altitude of
1799 meters. These events were the starting point for the complex
arrangements which realized along the years.
