Enjoy a trekking tour, just above the Transfagarasan road and the Balea Lake! A stunning tour in the Transylvanian Alps!
The tour needs no presentation; it has all the ingredients for an unforgettable day! We climb up the mountains, just above the breathtaking Transfagarsan road and then we’ll continue hiking on the peak with a view over the road on one side and the glacier lake on the other side… We’ll be right on the top of the mountains, at about 2300 m altitude (about 7600ft).
Get your camera and binoculars: we’ll take some awesome pictures and, with some luck, we might spot wild goats and groundhogs. It’s a relaxing tour, not very challenging but spectacular enough.
There are three options we could take for the trekking:
So, you don’t have to worry, you don’t need to be an expert to enjoy such a tour!
The tour doesn’t include, but at your request, we could add:
This tour can be customized; it can include the same attraction/ sights (Transfagarasan road, Balea Lake, Carta Abbey) but the trek is different according to your possibilities: very easy (walk around the lake), easy (a bit of trekking (around 2 hours) or moderate (3-4 hours trekking on the peak).
Let us know what you prefer and we’ll tailor it for you!
Nevertheless, in any of these cases, comfortable shoes and good outfit are required (also, raincoat, sunglasses).
The trekking tour can be done from July till the end of October!
In case you want just a walk in the lake area then sports, comfortable shoes are good enough. For the hiking tours we recommend trekking shoes, raincoat, sports outfit, hat, sunglasses.
You can bring some light snacks for the tour and a bottle of water. For a more elaborate tour, we can stop at the lovely trout farm, on our way back, at the bottom of the Fagaras mountains.
Wow! Quelle belle expérience pour nous. Nous recommandons fortement ce tour. Nous avons fait la route Transfagarasan, vu le lac et avons fait une magnifique randonnée. Adèle, do. Conjoint et Marius ont été très généreux. Ce fut la meilleure journée de notre voyage en Roumanie!
My husband and I did the Transfagarasan Highway Tour. It was amazing! I was really worried as it was the only day that wasn't clear and sunny and as we started up the road there was very little visability due to the fog and clouds. But once we were a little over halfway up we got above the clouds and could see the road from the view point as well as the clouds as they crept up the mountain. It was a very cool sight, my husband especially loved it. It was clear at the top as well as on the other side. The whole day was great, getting to see the Abbey and Clay Castle were bonuses. Lunch was fantastic and our guide, Peter, was friendly and charming. Highly recommend.
