Transylvania Winter Wilderness Trek

This short but spectacular snowshoe-trek takes you to the snowy forests and mountains of wild Transylvania, where you will discover a pristine winter wonderland.

Snowshoes allow you to negotiate the deep snow of the sheltered lower slopes as you follow paths through silent forest and, in sharp contrast, head high above the tree-line into the frozen mountain wilderness surrounding Lake Balea (2034m). Sleeping here in the Hotel of Ice – a remarkable construction beside the frozen lake – is a real highlight, and a truly unforgettable experience.

This is a remote region of the Carpathians and you are unlikely to meet more than a handful of other trekkers. For a unique adventure in untouched natural wilderness, look no further!
