Fagaras Mountains

Explore the Transylvanian Alps

The Făgăraş Mountains are a very popular hiking, trekking and skiing destination in Romania and undoubtedly the most impressive mountains in Romania. You can find many glacier lakes here, for exemple Bâlea Lake (2034 m, 46,508 m², 11.35 m deep) is the largest lake

Făgăraş Mountains are the highest mountains in Romania. The highest peaks are Moldoveanu (2544 m) and Negoiu (2535 m).

They are bordered in the north by the Făgăraş Depression, through which the Olt river flows, and in the west by the Olt Valley (Valea Oltului). The prime access point to the massif is the town of Victoria.

A road called the Transfăgărăşan is constructed across the Făgăraş Mountains. It is generally open only between June and September, due to unfavorable weather conditions in the rest of the year.
