Indoor Climbing in Bucharest, Romania: 6 of the Best Climbing Gyms to Visit

Cristina Pogacean

The Fagaras Mountains (2,544m) are the highest mountains of the Southern Carpathians - also known as the Transylvanian Alps -, in Romania. These are the second highest group of mountains in the Carpathian Range (2,655m), which extends over 1,500 kilometers across Central and Eastern Europe, making it the second largest range in Europe, after the Scandinavian Mountains.

Our trip will depart from Balea Cascada cable car station, on the Balea Valley, up to our hotel in the glacial Balea Lake at 2,034 meters of altitude. The following morning, and during 4 days, we will ski deep powder snow, down the Fagaras Mountains’ wild slopes, across beautiful snow-capped virgin forests.

Our daily traveling distance will be of around 1,000 meters. However, we can tailor the tour to the group’s level and preferences.

A unique 7-day skiing adventure in the best routes of the Fagaras Mountains. They are the highest peaks of the Southern Carpathians, in Romania. Furthermore, this region of the Transylvania Alps is a worldwide famous skiing destination.

During this mountain skiing program you will also discover amazing valleys of the Fagaras and the best snow of the Transylvania Alps. In addition, you'll witness the incredible Romanian mountain landscapes. The castles on the top of the hills and the old churches of this area are really stunning.

I am leading groups between 4 and 10 guests. However, if you are 3 or less, you can also ask me for a custom budget. Remember that all participants must have some basic skiing skills and a good fitness level.

And if you enjoy ski touring I can also propose you many other similar programs in other points of the world. Check out this <a href="http://www.explore-share.com/trip/6-day-skiing-mount-toubkal/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">6-day ski traverse in Mount Toubkal</a>, Morocco.

5-day Ski touring in Romania, Fagaras Mountains

Cosmin Andron

The Fagaras Mountains aontain some spectacular peaks in Romania, home to some of the loftiest, iciest and highest alpine mountains.

Generous coatings of snow layer the slopes and valleys of the Romanian mountains.

We begin by catching the cable car from Balea Cascada, one of the most spectacular and biggest waterfalls in Romania. We’ll get off at Balea Lake, where we base ourselves for the coming action-packed days.

The Fagaras Mountains offers wide variety of slopes capable for beginners as much as advanced skiers. And so depending on the group’s level of ability, as well as weather and slope conditions, we’ll choose the safest and most fun slopes available.

If conditions allow it, we can send the luggage down by cable car before we ski all the way to the bottom. Or if conditions do not allow us, then we will take the cable car down to the bottom.

Get in touch now to reserve your place on an action-packed 5-day ski tour of Romania’s Fagaras Mountains and enjoy the stunning alpine scenery.

Ski touring in Romania, 5 days in the Fagaras Mountains

I invite you to join me for a great 6-day backcountry skiing trip in Romania, exploring the Bucegi Mountains, the  spectacular Fagaras Mountains and the Retazat Mountains. 

The Fagaras are the highest peaks of the Southern Carpathians range -also known as the Transylvanian Alps- and they are a famous skiing destination. During the winter season, this stunning alpine environment offers many ski touring possibilities, both for intermediate and experienced skiers, departing from the Balea Cascada cable car station.

For a 6-day backcountry skiing trip in Romania, a combination of Bucegi Mountains (1 day), Fagaras (3 days) and Retezat Mountains (2 days)  would be ideal, but our itinerary will depend on the conditions at the time of your trip. From the airport we would transfer to Sinaia, a town and mountain resort close to the Bucegi Mountains, before heading to the Fagaras. You can check the tentative day-by-day itinerary below and check more options on the Extra Info box.

We always dedicate the first day to reviewing basic winter risk awareness, avalanche search and rescue, before heading out into the backcountry. We will close the first day with some easy runs to figure out the level of the group.

The Retezat Mountains are also part of the South Carpathians and they are another great backcountry skiing destination. However, as they are not too high, good snow conditions are not always guaranteed here. In that case we would spend the 6 days in the Fagaras, where good conditions are always guaranteed.

The best time for this trip would be March, as the weather is quite stable, snow is usually good and settled, allowing the perfect conditions for a great backcountry skiing trip.

During this trip, we will be staying at mountain huts in Retezat and in a 3-star hotel when we are in the Fagaras Mountains.
