Expedition In Fagaras Mountains From Brasov (Private Tour!)

Book with us a once in a lifetime experience! A hiking trip along the crest of the Fagaras Mountains is indeed beautiful, but difficult and challenging!

An epic journey awaits you: on the crest of the mountains there is a real necklace of Alpine lakes with clear water that captivate us with their serenity and pristine beauty, arranged symmetrically and alternately, now on the southern side now on the northern one, from which rise swifty mountain rivers; at every step on the heights of these mountains you come upon glacial scenery, narrow paths, amazing peaks, including "the roof" of Romania - Moldoveanu Peak!

They are very much like the Alps, which made the French geographer Emmanuel de Martonne call them " the Alps of Transylvania", a name that has stuck to them.

Did you know?

It is said that the name "Fagaras" is coming from the word "fagar", an old word which represents a large old beech forest.

In ancient times, the bottom part of the Fagaras Mounatins were covered with Oak forest. Now remains "Dumbrava Vadului", where, among the oak trees, we have daffodils (Narcissus stellaris), locally known as coprine.

In Fagaras Mountains there is "Mioarelor" galcial lake (2282 m), the highest glacial lake in the Carpathian mountains.

In Fagaras Mountains there are 8 of the 14 peaks of the Carpathian mountains that reach the altitude of 2500 m: Moldoveanu (2544 m), Negoiu (2535 m), Coltul Vistei Mari (2527 m), Lespezi (2522 m), Cornu Caltunului (2510 m), Vanatoarea lui Buteanu (2507 m), Hartopu (2506 m) and Dara (2500 m). Here there are over 42 peaks with altitude between 2400 and 2500 m.
