Description

To discover the Transfagarasan road with its unforgettable scenery is indeed an adventure, especially for those daredevils who wish to reach peaks once untouched but by chamois and golden eagles. Transfagarasan Highway - rated by Top Gear as the most spectacular road in the world, the Transfagarasan impresses with its extraordinary scenery, the number of serpentines and the height at which it was built, the Fagaras mountains being the highest in Romania; thus, the Transfagarasan reaches altitudes up to 2042 meters at Lake Balea where it starts its descent to Cartisoara village; here, on a 30 km stretch we can enjoy the sight of the road in all its splendor. Lake Balea - a glacier lake formed in a cirque (a depression surrounded by high mountains) at an altitude of 2040 metres; it lies on an area of 4,6 hectares (the length of the lake is 360 metres) and its depth is of approximately 11 metres.

First class day trip from start to finish!

Our trip to Transfagarasan with Alin was perfect from start to finish! Alin is exceptionally friendly and shares a wealth of local knowledge during the trip. The van he transported us in was very comfortable and he stopped at all of the best spots to see the most spectacular views and take plenty of photos. We would highly recommend Alin to anyone who wishes to do this day trip! Thank you again for an unforgettable experience :-)

An Unforgettable Ride on the Transfăgărășan!

Actually, this tour was amazing! Alin picked us up straight from our hotel and dropped us back after – zero hassle. He's such a great storyteller, and he shared so many interesting facts about Romania along the way – history, culture, legends, you name it. The whole ride just flew by. And the scenery? Absolutely breathtaking! Winding roads carved right into the mountains, huge valleys below and lake. We stopped at a bunch of awesome viewpoints for pics and just stood there taking it all in. At the end we got to take the cable car down, gliding with incredible views the whole way, and Alin was already waiting for us at the bottom. Seriously unforgettable – if you're thinking about it, just book it!

Amazing trip - a must do!

We spent the day with Alin on a private tour and couldn’t have asked for a better guide. He was incredibly knowledgeable, engaging, and clearly very passionate about Romania, which really brought the experience to life. Part of the road is closed at this time of year due to snow, so we took the cable car up instead — which was a great experience with stunning views at the top. Just make sure to wear proper snow boots as it’s very snowy up there! Overall, a fantastic day with a genuinely lovely guide. Highly recommend.
