Săcele, 15 minutes from Brașov
Bunloc (Săcele)
The closest skiing to Brașov — a long chairlift, a few runs, evening sessions
Bunloc, above Săcele on the eastern edge of Brașov, is the closest ski slope to the city — about 15 minutes by car from the centre. A two-seat chairlift 1,588 m long climbs from about 600 m towards 1,170 m, and roughly 3 km of runs come back down; the lower slope is floodlit a couple of evenings a week, announced on the operator's Facebook page. It is a local hill with a local price: the last published adult day pass was around 130 lei (110 lei for children and pensioners), though we could not confirm which season that was. The low altitude makes it heavily dependent on cold weather. Great for an evening after work or a short first session; not a substitute for Poiana.
