ABSTRACT. – Evaluating the Landscape Accessibility for Tourism Activities in Postăvaru Mountains. Postăvaru Mountains represent one of the main tourism areas in Romania especially because of the location here of Poiana Brașov resort which is the go to destination for winter sports in the country. Because of this the financial return drops massively outside the winter season or if and when the snow layer does not allow for practicing winter specific sports. Thus a priority should be attracting tourism flows all year round by promoting and efficiently valuing the geomorphosites located in the proximity of the resort. The present study intends to analyse the synergy between the tourism infrastructure and the natural (relief) tourism potential of the Postăvaru Mountains in order to identify solutions and opportunities for a uniform flow of tourists all year round in Poiana Brașov resort.
