Leave the crowded ski slopes behind and discover frozen waterfalls, sunny peaks and forests smells of pine. We are walking on the untouched snow listening to bird songs while reading the trails of bears, deers, boars and other animals crossing our path. Whether you have only a few hours or you would like to spend a whole week touring we’ve got you covered. Choose your preferred route and our guide will bring your equipments. Don’t forget to bring layered clothing to be comfortable both up and downhill.

Challenge yourself with a full day snowshoeing tour to the top of the 1556 m high Naskalat Mountain. This 20 km long trail with 500 m elevation gain is quite demanding, but the spectacular view of the Ciuc Mountains winter wilderness and the local legends and stories linked to the place will make it worth it.

Snowshoeing is the easiest way to immerse yourself in winter nature and reach remote places even in deep snow. We will take you to some of our favourite peaceful mountain top through fragrant pine forests. Our tours are fully guided and there are variety of trails to suit all ages and abilities. We’ll bring your snowshoes, gaiters and ski poles, just get your layered clothing and boots and we are ready to go!

Glide through the fairytale winter landscape of the Gyimes hills in a horse-drawn sleigh and enjoy a wide view of the gorgeous scenery around! Our path for the sleigh ride goes through the forests and hills of the Gyimes Valley and none of those places visited during the tour are accessible by car, so it’s just you, horses and snow. There are some slower bits where you can enjoy the views and also some faster ones, where horses gallop and you need to hold tight to not to fall off the sledges on the turns. It’s so much fun! Our horses are local breds, used to mountain terrain, very friendly and patient, and look very cute. We also organize rides in the night which makes the experience really special. The tours depart daily at 10:00, 14:00 and 18:00 (the evening tour) from the front of the church of Bükkhavaspataka (Poiana Fagului in Romanian) located in the village of Lunca de Jos, 50 km drive from Miercurea Ciuc.  In order to assure optimal circumstances for organizing this tour, please send your request to book or contact us at least one day prior the chosen date. 📷 Fodor István

Canyoning and gorge walking are very similar adventure-sports. Usually gorge walking does not require any rope-technique: you wade in the water of the bed of the brook, you stroll from a stone to a stone, then you climb smaller rocks, jump off from waterfalls. We talk about canyoning, when at some sections of the canyon we meet such waterfalls, from which we need to abseil with rope-technique. In the Lacul Roşu (The Red Lake)-Cheile Bicazului region an excellent ground for adventurous gorge walking is the rocky bed of the Bicajel and Lăpuşului gorge. For canyoning the best ground is the upper section of the rarely beaten, extremely narrow and spectacular Pârâul Sec, which can only be passed with the help of an experienced guide and rope-technique.
