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…
We love mountains at least as much as we like biking. In our book mountain biking should be a lot about mountains: majestic forests, alpine pastures, rocky ridges, and the assorted mountain trails. But the pinnacle of any mountain landscape is the peak. Obviously, not every peak is bikeable. And “bikeable” is like beauty: it’s in the eye (mind, legs, arms) of the beholder.

Alex is a student in Cluj, just about to finish his medical studies. A keen mountain biker, he thought of a short bike trip in the Romanian mountains for him, his dad Martin and his cousin Christian, trying to discover what gems lay hidden in this corner of Europe. For the first day of their adventure they went to the Sinaia bike park, concentrating on clearing various jumps and gaps. For the next three days they wanted some wild, natural trails, so they called us to design a suitable program.…
The Carpat MTB Enduro comes with a carefully selected list of trails to please the most demanding singletrack aficionados. Natural, trekking and hiking trails with whatever mother nature decided to throw into the mix: roots, logs, stones and rock gardens, sharp turns, exposed ridges. Plus some man-made, bike-park kind of runs. You name it, we got it covered. About three times more altitude drop than climbing on bike, meaning we'll use cable cars or motorised vehicles to cover some of the uphill. Still enough climbing on the menu, with some…
Apart from the usual multi-days tours, the 2016 season brought us an unexpected increase of the single or couple of days mtb trips. People coming to Brasov area from overseas on business trips and adding a day or two of outdoor activities to the mix, a bunch of expats working in Romania and wanting to see and bike more of the Romanian trails, a few outdoor activities organizers coming in Brasov to test local opportunities, and many more. An ever growing list of more of less improbable scenarios brings bikers…
