Predeal, Brașov County
Predeal — Clăbucet
The nearest real alternative to Poiana — reds, a train station and night skiing
Clăbucet, above Predeal, is the ski area Brașov families use when Poiana is full: about 7.4 km of pistes between 1,040 and 1,451 m, mostly intermediate reds such as Clăbucet and Cocoșul, a short black Subteleferic and a gentle floodlit finish at Clăbucet Sosire. A four-seat chairlift does the heavy lifting. The 2026 price list from the operator, Genetrix, puts a day pass at 250 lei for adults and 125 lei for children aged 5–12, with 2-hour and 4-hour options. Predeal is on the main railway line, so you can come without a car; by road it is about 36 minutes from Brașov, much more on a Saturday on DN1. Individual piste figures come from secondary sources.
Our verdict
Worth it on a crowded Poiana weekend, or with children who like night skiing.
