Overview

Your guide will pick you up early in the morning from your accommodation in Brasov.
In about two hours, you will arrive at the lower cable car station on the Transfagarasan road. From here, the only way of going up to Balea lake is by taking the cable car.
The route goes from 1200 meters to 2040 meters in 3,7 kilometers.
Once you get up, take a deep breath of fresh mountain air and feel free to explore the area. When you're hungry, go inside one of the huts for a tasty lunch.
In the end, go back to base by cable car.
Continue to the village of Carta, to see a 13th century old gothic monastery.
On you way back to Brasov, if there is time, visit the beautiful Fagaras fortress, built in the 14th century.
Once you get back to Brasov, your guide will drop you off at your accommodation in Brasov.
*Please keep in mind that the cable car can depart with at least 10 people and only in good weather conditions. If you cannot take the cable car due to bad weather, you will be partially refunded.
