We had a great time , unfortunately Cosmin broke his arm two weeks before the trip but the replacement guide
Nicu Durnac was superb.
Sean Dolan for 6-day Backcountry skiing in Romania: Retezat, Fagaras Mountains
Mike Cawthorne for Ski touring in Romania, 5 days in the Fagaras Mountains
I spent 3 very exciting days at Balea Lake having very good snow and weather conditions. Accomodation at Paltinu Hotel was
good and evenings passed quickly meeting all different type of mountain people :-). Skitours started from Paltinu Hotel (2034m) up to different mountain saddles (ca. 2300m) on skis. Going further to summits was possible but quite challenging as we had to climb in 1m of fresh snow carrying skis on the backpack. Nevertheless we had a lot of fun and Mihnea guided in all situations safely.
