Moments to expect in the peaks of Romania tour:

[Day 1] Meet in Sinaia & enter Bucegi Mts

We meet at 8:30am in Sinaia (easily accessible from Otopeni Airport or Bucharest) and enter Bucegi Mts with a warm up hike to see the impressive attractions of the area: Sphinx, Babele and Heroes' Cross. Then we summit Omu Peak, the highest in the massif at 2,505m. In the evening we settle into a mountain guesthouse where a home-cooked dinner will be waiting for us.
[7-8h hike, 3/5 difficulty grade, 400-600m altitude gain]

Attractions included

Bucegi Mountains: more than the Sphinx!

[Day 2] Explore Bucegi Mts

After breakfast, it's time to explore the wilder and pristine parts of Bucegi Mts. Only experienced hikers will venture on these trails - and that's us! Depending on group interests and weather conditions, we have plenty of options to choose from: from deep valleys, ridge trails, fascinating caves to the serene Bolboci Lake.

[Day 3] Cross Bucegi Mts into Moeciu/Bran area

Today we pack our bags and descend Bucegi Massif on the Western side into Moeciu-Bran pass. The trail wil be difficult but the views of Piatra Craiului Mts with their impressive limestone ridge will encourage us to keep going! Transfer to a family owned guesthouse in the picturesque village of Magura (luggage transfer included).
[8h hike - 4/5 difficulty grade - 800m altitude difference]

[Day 4] Hiking in Piatra Craiului National Park

Today we have a mighty goal: to cross the impressive limestone ridge of Piatra Craiului Mts. and summit La Om Peak (2,238m), the highest here. This will be a difficult hike with technical sections. But the reward up in the sky will be worth it!
[8h hike - 4/5 difficulty - 800-1,200m uphill + downhill]

[Day 5] Rest day & transfer to Fagaras Mts

After so much hiking, today we take it easy! After breakfast, we go visit Bran Castle to see if Dracula's around. Then we go to Brasov for a guided tour of Old Town area, and enjoy some free time for lunch. In the afternoon we travel to the mighty Fagaras Mts also known as Transylvania Alps (2h) and get ready for the next days of hiking!

Attractions included

Brasov City Guide: 40+ Things to Do & Places to Visit

[Day 6] Summit Negoiu Peak

Today we conquer Romania's 2nd highest peak at 2,535m. The trails will be exposed and at high altitudes. The wind is strong, the air is cool, the weather unpredictable and the terrain dangerous. This will be the most difficult day of our hiking trip - but the reward is worth it! I think this is the most beautiful trail in Romania!
[9h hike - 5/5 difficulty level - 500m altitude difference]

[Day 7] Explore another side of Fagaras Mts

On our last day, we're going to take it easy and explore another part of Fagaras Mts. We're going to enjoy the views, relax by glacial lakes and summit a "smaller" peak at 2,507m. Then, we'll drive to Bucharest [3h] and drop you off at your hotel. Tour ends.
[5h hike - 4/5 difficulty grade - 500m altitude difference]

FAQ

How many overnight stays are included in the price?

7 overnights are included (2 in Bucegi Mts, 2 in Piatra Craiului, 2 in Fagaras and 1 in Bucharest). All will be in a double or twin room, with en-suite bathroom. Single supplements cost 195 Euro/person.

Why is Moldoveanu Peak not included?

The only way to reach Moldoveanu Peak, the highest in Romania, is on a 3 day trip starting from Balea Lake with 2 overnight stays at Podragu Cabin. Podragu Cabin will be under renovation starting from Spring of 2025 and we don't know when it will be finished and ready to welcome guests. So this year Moldoveanu is not included.

How to get to, and where to stay in Sinaia

We can arrange your transfer from Otopeni Airport to Sinaia on a shuttle bus for an extra cost of 50 Euro, please contact us with your flight arrival time. For accommodation, you can search on Booking.com or we can make the booking for you at a decent 3* guesthouse.

What meals are included?

All meals for this trip are included except for lunch on Day 5. Meals will be prepared with delicious, locally sourced ingredients, and will be filling and in large sizes, so we're well fuelled for our trip. We can accommodate dietary restrictions too.
