COMPLETE TRAVEL GUIDE
How to get from Sibiu International Airport to Poiana Brașov
Sibiu Airport to Poiana Brașov is a longer eastbound journey than the nearby Păltiniș trips. Public travel requires a city connection, a dated train toward Brașov and local transport up to the ski resort. Brașov railway station and Poiana Brașov’s hotels are separate endpoints. If flight schedules allow, compare Brașov or Bucharest gateways as well as Sibiu before buying tickets. A direct road vehicle avoids the station and local-bus changes but still needs the exact hotel address and a buffer for weekend mountain traffic.
A Brașov train ticket ends below the resort. Use the Poiana Brașov hotel entrance or reserve the final local ride from the mountain bus stop.

Explore the Poiana Brașov resort guide →
Poiana Brașov is a mountain resort above Brașov, with downhill skiing on the Postăvaru slopes. The city railway station is not in the resort; visitors arriving by rail need a bus or road climb. The ski map contains long mountain runs and separate learning slopes, so decide on the lesson base before arranging the hotel arrival. Weather, queues and open lower runs can change the usable skiing during a stay.
Which ski area should you choose?
Stadion / Bradul
Lower learning and local skiing choices; confirm the ski-school meeting point.
Postăvaru mountain lifts
Main uphill access is separate from the town’s public bus terminus.
Drumul Roșu / Lupului
Different mountain descents; choose according to ability and open-run information, not simply the length of a run.
Piste difficulty: Stadion is a learning slope; long mountain descents and steeper Lupului terrain need a different ability level. Check the current grade and snow conditions.
After the transfer: A Brașov train ticket ends below the resort. Use the Poiana Brașov hotel entrance or reserve the final local ride from the mountain bus stop.
