The Capra Neagră cable car lifts you from Poiana Brașov to the shoulder of Postăvaru in a few minutes of gliding above the firs, and in the last stretch the landscape opens abruptly: Poiana shrinks to a model below, and beyond it stand Piatra Craiului and, in good weather, the Bucegi ridge. It is the most comfortable way up without walking, and the reason it holds a 4.4 Google rating from close to a thousand reviews.
In winter it is the main artery of the ski area, with queues at peak hours; in summer it becomes a lift for hikers and for those who go up simply for a meal with a view. From the top you quickly reach Postăvarul Chalet and can walk back down to Poiana.
Good to know Operation depends on wind and visibility, so check the mountain weather before going up and take a windproof layer — it is always colder at the top than in Poiana. See the Poiana Brașov ski area, the Poiana Brașov – Postăvaru trail, the rest of the Brașov & Poiana Brașov region and restaurants nearby.
