The Transylvanian Alps tour is the oldest, and most popular tour format in our portfolio. Seven nights of stay, six days of mountain biking across several mountain ranges in South Transylvania, Central Romania, nicely covering a full week of holiday. Sometimes people have a flexible schedule, with more time on their hands. Like it was the case with Günther and René this summer. They wanted a longer tour, so we added a few more days to the total, ending with nine days out on the mountain trails and a few…
UP. DOWN. REPEAT stands true no matter the season. They say ski touring is the winter version of mountain biking. Or is it the other way around? The mountains we are riding on during spring, summer and autumn are ideal for ski touring and back country skiing. While the hiking and biking trails are covered in snow, endless freeride opportunities arise. Looking for a guided ski touring or backcountry skiing trip in Central Transylvania. Romania? You are in the right place. Are you just entering the realm of ski-touring? Then…
Mountain bikers from Germany, Italy and The Netherlands joined our Transylvanian Alps Open tour, August 2023. An eclectic group of people that shared the love for riding their bikes up on the mountain trails while exploring new places, new cultures, and their own comfort zones. Our menu is tried and tested: mountain trails up and down the mountain. Steep climbs, including the odd hike-a-bike and carry bike sections. Trail riding galore, with a few tech parts to spice up the ensemble. Ciucaș, Grohotișului, Neamțului, Baiului, Bucegi and Piatra Craiului Mountains…
Bikers from all over the world come to ride our trails, and most are very much into mountain biking, bringing over their beloved equipment, and showing incredible technical and physical skills. Some are less into biking and more into spending memorable experiences together with old friends. The demands of the mountain biking we are offering in our tours might take them by surprise. But this never stood in the way of a proper jolly time. The intensity of the climbs and the technicity of descents are swiftly turned into challenges,…
We had a busy year in 2021 with Tom, biking on some jaw dropping Carpathian Peaks in the mountains surrounding Brasov city. For most of the 2022 Tom spent his biking days on easier cross-country rides on the flat lands, plus a good number of days abusing the cable cars while stacking bike-park runs under his belt in Sinaia, Azuga and Poiana Brașov. One of these days, while waiting for the uplift, he realized he missed a good pedaling day up in the mountains. So he gave me a call.…
Udo brought his friends for a ski touring trip in the Romanian mountains back in 2018, and saw the potential for a mountain biking adventure. Fast forward to August 2022: Udo and his five Bavarian friends came to Romania for a five-mountains, six-days mountain biking tour: our one and only Transylvanian Alps program. The photo gallery below, as extensive as it is, will only tell a small part of an amazing experience. We explored five mountains in Central Romania (Ciucaș, Grohotișului, Baiului, Bucegi, Piatra Craiului). We've biked through forests, through…
Like most of our guests, Willi and Francesco started planning their mtb trip to Romania with many months in advance, in October 2021. They were hoping, like we all did, that things will come back to some sort of normality after a couple of years totally messed up by the COVID pandemic. Then the war in Ukraine started. Planning for weeks or months ahead became, again, pointless. Still, Willi and Francesco were decided to come to Romania for a mountain biking trip, even if that meant making a last minute…
We organise guided mountain biking tours in South-East Transylvania, Central Romania, in the Carpathian Mountains surrounding the medieval city of Brașov (Bucegi, Piatra Craiului, Ciucaș, Postăvaru, Piatra Mare, Baiului, Grohotișului, Neamțului, etc). We have several programs you can choose from: one week, medium, advanced or expert level, all- inclusive or guiding-only tours. We have a few fixed dates open tours that you can join, but we also run them on demand, for specific group sizes and dates. There's a comprehensive form on the contact page. Use it if you want…
It was scheduled to happen in June 2020, but a tiny virus had other plans for the entire planet Earth. More than one year later our Belgian guests finally arrived in Romania for the week-long Transylvanian Alps tour, adding the South East Carpathian Mountains to their impressive list of mountain biking destinations. The menu was, as always, complex: long and demanding climbs, push and carry-bike sessions, epic descents on "Bonanza trails". Zero bears encounters, but a few shepherd dogs (honestly a bigger threat for the unaccustomed traveller). Lots of loughs,…
Starting with the 2021 season we are offering to our guests a new tour concept: Going for the peaks. Be it for a one-day ride, a weekend tour, a full-week program or a comprehensive ten-days adventure, the aim is to get up every day on a peak in the South-Transylvania Carpathian Mountains, and then bike all the way down to a cold beer, a nice meal and a good sleep. After a few good years of exploratory rides we proudly present a list of about 10 carefully selected peaks that…
