Your adventure begins with a drive north, passing the historic town of Curtea de Argeș, once the capital of medieval Wallachia, setting the stage for the day’s discoveries.
As you journey into the Carpathian Mountains, pause to admire the impressive Vidraru Dam, one of the largest in Romania. The road ahead winds through the Făgăraș Mountains, offering panoramic views and the chance to spot wild bears safely from the roadside, adding a touch of excitement to your trip.
The highlight is the spectacular ascent to Bâlea Lake, where you’ll enjoy free time to take in the crisp mountain air and capture stunning photos of the alpine landscape. Along the way, marvel at the cascading Capra Waterfall and enjoy several scenic stops for pictures and relaxation.
This full-day tour lasts approximately 12 hours and is led by a professional English-speaking guide. Travel comfortably in an air-conditioned vehicle with a small group, ensuring a personalized and relaxed experience. Please note, the upper section of the road and Bâlea Lake are accessible only from June to October due to weather conditions.
During winter, the itinerary is adapted, with visits to Curtea de Argeș Monastery and time at Chalet Ursului for lunch and mountain activities instead of Bâlea Lake and Capra Waterfall.
