Winter Wonderland on the Transfăgărășan: A Journey Above the Clouds - I had the chance to explore the Transfăgărășan in December 2024, during a time when the road was closed due to heavy snowfall. Although car access was impossible, we embarked on a spectacular adventure by cable car to Bâlea Lake, entering a true winter fairytale. The highlight of the trip was visiting the Ice Hotel – a breathtaking place where art, light, and silence merge into an unforgettable experience. We ended the journey by crossing the mountain through the famous Bâlea Tunnel, a mysterious passage leading us into an even whiter world. This wasn’t just a mountain getaway – it was a return to simplicity, stillness, and wonder. All of this wouldn’t have been possible without the support and flawless organization of Alin Săucă, to whom I am deeply grateful. He is a dedicated guide, detail-oriented, and truly passionate about what he does. I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone seeking well-organized trips and authentic experiences in nature. Highlights: • 🚠 Spectacular and safe cable car ride; • ❄️ Stunning winter landscapes; • 🏰 Unique seasonal attraction – The Ice Hotel; • 🚇 Movie-like atmosphere during tunnel crossing; • ✅ Impeccable organization – thanks to Alin Săucă.

Transfagarasan - Alin was an amazing guide/driver throughout the whole journey from Brasov to Transfagarasan. He created a safe space where we felt at ease and he shared his knowledge about history and lots of amazing facts of the town and itinerary. He communicated fluently in English which made our trip enjoyable. He advised us on restaurants. He took us to great spots to enjoy the breathtaking views along Transfagarasan. We would strongly recommend Alin as he is a friendly and kind guide/driver, he is the best to make you discover Brasov and the surroundings. Do check his website and YouTube .

Recommended by Top Gear…and by us!! - This was our third tour with Alin and, as for the others, we’d thoroughly recommend it. He turned up to our meeting place with coffee and we headed off to the amazing Transfagarasan highway. It’s a bit of a drive from Brasov, but so worth it. What a spectacular mountain pass. Alin stopped at various viewpoints to let us take photos and admire the view, while telling us about the area, the history of the road itself and we also talked about life in Romania. We had lunch at the top, having looked at Balea Lake (we can recommend the pumpkin soup!). Then we got the cable car partway down, which gives you even more spectacular views, before meeting Alin again for the drive back to Brasov. On the way to/from Brasov keep an eye out for the storks’ nests on top of the telegraph poles - they’re really cool. Overall, another amazing trip. Our advice - do it!!

Great trip - Great views, and had time for a hike at the top to go even higher above the road. Alin was a great host. Worth doing the cable car down as well

Left my heart on Transfagarasan! - Booked the trip last minute but I am so happy we did! We had an amazing experience on the Transfagarasan tour and pictures/videos don’t do it justice, you must experience it in person! The services were as advertised; I received confirmation immediately and was contacted by our guide to confirm pickup location and time. Our guide, Alin, ensured for a great day; he is very knowledgeable and you can tell he loves what he does. Wish I met him earlier to plan for other experiences but look forward to future trips. Highly recommend Welcome To Transylvania and any tour you choose; Romania is beautiful and you will be in great hands with someone that will help you discover it!
