What you can expect

Your journey begins in the charming city of Sibiu, from where you'll travel along the world-famous Transfăgărășan Road, often called “the best driving road in the world.” As you ascend into the Făgăraș Mountains, breathtaking alpine scenery unfolds at every turn. Upon arrival near Bâlea Lake, you’ll begin a guided hike on scenic mountain trails leading to the Capra Glacier Lake and the summits of Vânătarea lui Buteanu (2507 m) and Capra Peak.

The trail takes you through rocky ridges, serene alpine meadows, and panoramic viewpoints. With each step, you’ll be rewarded with increasingly dramatic views of the Transylvanian landscape. The highlight of the tour is witnessing the sunset from the top, where the warm light paints the peaks and valleys in golden hues — a perfect moment for stunning photos and peaceful reflection.

After taking in the beauty of the high mountains at dusk, you’ll descend and return to Sibiu in the evening, filled with fresh mountain air, awe-inspiring images, and unforgettable memories. This tour is ideal for active travellers with moderate hiking experience.
