Description
Situated in the heart of Romania, a Bucegi Mountains scrambling expedition is the best way to explore the country’s incredible alpine scenery!
Located just to the south of the former industrial hub of Brasov, the Bucegi Mountains boast plenty of stunning landscapes for us to see and incredible terrains for us to traverse.
The rocky gullies, ridges, aretes and wildflower-covered ledges of the mountains are so well suited to scrambling, in fact, that the sport even has its own term: Carpatism.
Among the many places from which we may choose to head are the gullies of Gălbinele, Țapului and Colților, all of which are home to the majestic chamois and edelweiss flowers.
Each one has about a day’s worth of scrambling to do too, so if you want to explore them all it’s best to extend the trip.
For those of you seeking out a real challenge, we may also be able to head to Omu Peak. Sitting just to the northwest of Bușteni and rising to 2,505 meter (8,219 feet) in elevation, it is the highest mountain in the Bucegi range and boasts numerous routes to the top.
Regardless of where we head, this trip is best suited for intermediate-level scramblers with a fairly good degree of physical fitness.
So what are you waiting for? Book now for this exciting, challenging and fun 1+ day Bucegi Mountains scrambling experience in central Romania!

About the guide
Andrei
Mountain Leader
Having known mountains since childhood, I became a guide in 2017, after years of hiking, scrambling and climbing in the Carpathians.
I am a state-certified Mountain Guide and International Mountain Leader, member of SGLM, the UIMLA-affiliated association in Romania.
My great passion is scrambling in Bucegi and Piatra Craiului, unique areas and scenic routes found only in this corner of the Carpathians, but I also love climbing classic routes, mountaineering and hiking in seldom travelled places, where one can have a truly adventurous and natural experience.
Any tour with me involves a deep preparation and realistic view regarding the experience of the group relative to the proposed goal, so as to never compromise on safety and the guiding etiquette that I adhere to.

What people are saying about Explore-Share

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
