Hotels in Transfagarasan, Romania

The Transfăgărășan Highway cuts through Romania's Făgăraș Mountains, famous for being one of the world's most thrilling drives with sharp curves and stunning views of glacial lakes like Bâlea Lake. Summers are cool, hovering around 20°C (68°F), perfect for hiking to the lake or cycling on the closed-to-cars Wednesday afternoons. Winters bring heavy snow and freezing temps, so you'll want to trade the car keys for ski boots at the Bâlea Cascada slope, accessible by cable car from May to October.
