On Day 2 we head into the spectacular Ciucas Mts. with the highest peak of 1.954m and 2 options to choose from for our descent. On a good day you can do 4-5 rides!

Day 1 + Day 2: First adventures!

Day 3 + Day 4: Backcountry adventures!

Now we head into the majestic Fagaras Mountains, the Transylvania's Alps! We go to Bale Lake by cabelcar (above Transfagarasan covered by snow!) and from here our options are endless: from 2.400m high we can choose how many times and which routes we use for our descent! On Day 4 we stay in Balea area and try a ride which will test our endurance and adrenalin levels! While going up to the ridge, either on ski or splitboard, you start getting anxious for the downhill ride. First, we enjoy a stunning panorama of Făgăraș and then prepare for the exciting downhill ride!

Day 3 + Day 4: Backcountry adventures!

Day 5 + Day 6: Freeriding in Transylvania Alps

On day Day 5 we explore the Southern side of Fagaras Mts. and get more awesome views. Depending on group preference, we will agree on our route beforehand as this area is wilder and needs more supplies. On Day 6 we descend from Balea closer to ground level and start preparing for departure and transfer the next day.
