1-day ski touring in Vladeasa Peak, near Cluj-Napoca
Cosmin was a fantastic guide. He was incredibly knowledgeable and was a great help to me with a last min issue (on my side) Highly recommend 😊

2-day Trekking in the Ciucas Mountains in Prahova County, near Cheia
Ioan was a great guide!! We joined a group of 10 others at the last moment and although we came unprepared for the first day, he managed to get us what we needed in order to have an amazing adventure! We visited several peaks over 2500m, met local shepherds, saw amazing views and had great meals. Despite some injuries we had and lagging a bit behind the group, everyone was patient and understanding. The first day was a challenge uphill, the second we had a lot of rain but enjoyed the area and clean air, the third day was a tour of the Fagaras peaks leading to a steady descent with great views. Make sure to prepare in advance and bring the necessary equipment - rain proof gear, adjustable walking sticks, low temperature sleeping bag and quick setup tent. Very much recommended!!!

Mountain biking day in the Faget Forest, Cluj Napoca, Romania
Absolutely excellent trip! Guide Cata was spectacular at assessing our skill level and picking the perfect trail. We would love to travel again with him. The trails around Cluj are great for MTB. I was less impressed with the ExploreShare interface. It was clunky to use and I wasn’t sure if messages were getting through. I did manage to find an excellent guide and experience, so I guess it all worked.

Balea Lake ski touring trip, 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.

Introductory rock climbing lessons at Vertical Spirit Climbing Gym in Bucharest (2 hours)
It's a very nice place, with very nice people. We've been here with a birthday party for kids and for a climbing class with a five year old. Both have been great experiences.
There are many reasons for choosing Romania
From skiing down pristine winter slopes to strapping yourself in an abseiling down a wall of sedimentary rock, there is plenty to do year-round in Romania. Mountaineering, a regional favourite, can be done in all four seasons.

The best way to get to the Carpathians is to fly into the international airport at Bucarest and take a train to your final destination in the mountain range. Even from elsewhere in Europe, flying is the easiest way to get to Romania
More info about Romania:
Stretching throughout central and eastern Europe, the Carpathians are the second longest range on the continent. The Făgăraș Mountains are the tallest of these mountains within Romania with the tallest peak, Moldoveanu, reaching 2.544 meters. The majority of the range is located within the Romanian region of Transylvania and is still home to much of Romania’s wildlife such as brown bears. The country is becoming an increasingly popular tourist destination, receiving about 10 million per year. The Carpathians are one of the country’s main draws in that regard
