In this paper, a topographical survey was carried out and the resulting data were processed for the development of the Zănoaga area in Bran, as a multifunctional sports complex. For the existing ski slope, all field data were collected, and a corresponding database was constructed. For the rest of the area, a comprehensive survey was conducted to establish the routes for a summer toboggan run, a tubing installation, and a bike trail (with multiple variants). A ComNav T300 GNSS equipment was used. Field data were initially processed in AutoCAD Civil 3D and then imported into ArcGIS. In this latter program, the initial 3D profile, and the possible profiles for optimal operation of the mentioned facilities were created. A program model was built in GIS through which the user can choose the suitable slope according to their experience, and the construction mode of the summer slope was simulated, based on projected speed.
