Powder skiing in Fagaras mountains, Romania

Powder skiing in Fagaras mountains

The last days of March were very nice ones from all points of view! We ski in Bucegi mountains, and since yesterday afternoon, March 25, we are at Balea Lake in Fagaras mountains. Today we did some nice runs in Saua Doamnei, and on Balea Valley. As you may see on the above photo, the snow was great!
Best regards from Balea Lake in Fagaras mountains, Iulian Cozma – mountain and ski guide

We did a one week ski tour with Iulian Cozma from March 21-29, 2009. We were seven friends who have ski-toured all over the world. Iulian, who had been recommended to me on a ski-tour in Russia, exceeded our expectations in every way. He was extremely well organized, was happy to be flexible with the program depending on mountain weather and the desires of the group and gave us all a great experience in Romania.
The Romanian Carpathian mountains are excellent for ski touring and we found deep powder with stunning alpine terrain. I can highly recommend him as a mountain and ski guide.

Iulian was great. He took care of every detail; efficient travel, very comfortable accommodations, wonderful and plentiful food all while guiding us safely through the beautiful Bucegi and Fagaras mountains. Why would a group of skiers from the Wasatch, Sierras and Cascade mountains would travel to Romania to ski? After they had to dig out the tram at Balea Lac and we had the opportunity to ski in the Fagaras with over a foot of light powder, we all knew the trip was worth it. I highly recommend Iulian and his Romanian ski touring experience.

A thoroughly great experience to be guided through the back country and history of Romania by you! Our group enjoyed the guided tour – it was a very informative and entertaining where we got a broad perspective on Romania and history. Your approach to the job as a guide is inspiring; the care to details, flexibility and depth of knowledge far surpassed most guides that we come across – a fine experience! Exactly the kind of tour we were looking for!

A great itinerary. We started by taking the Cable car from Busteni to Babele. There we made a big loop passing thru Omu Peak and arriving after 8 hours in Pestera. The sun was bright and the scenary was incredible with the clouds in the valley. In some parts it was like walking on the clouds. Iulian had arranged for us a good stop for the night in the National Salvamont School in Pestera where we recoverd with a good meal. The second day was very nice as well since the landscape had turned white with the night frost. We arrived in Moeciu tired but happy. Next time will be in winter with snow shoes!!

Une tres belle balade ce lundi 14 novembre. Nous aimons les paysages autour de Moeciu car on decouvre la vie et les scenes de moyenne montagne tout en ayant une vue superbe sur les montagnes de Bucegi quand le soleil est de la partie. Iulian nous avait prepare comme d'habitude un bel itineraire de 5 heures de marches(sportif mais accessible a tous). Les quelques arrets dans les granges nous ont permis de manger en cours de route. A l'arrivee une bonne Ciorba nous a permis de nous rechauffer.

Whaat a journey….Două zile concentrate, in care am ramas fascinata de ce frumuseti ascund Bucegii nostri. Daca in prima zi m-am simit ca o pasare, mergand aproape de nori, cu soarele in ochi si vantul de la Omu pe la urechi, iar seara am mancat mai bine ca la mama, a doua zi am pornit grabiti, si dupa 4 ore de urcat si mult coborat prin padurea de brazi, am iesit la dealurile cernite ale Moeciului de Sus, iar vacutzele, prietenele lui Iulica, ne-au dat binetze din talaga… Un traseu sublim, dar si vremea a fost de partea noastra…
Multumim Iuli Carmen si Catalin, Bucuresti, Noiembrie 2011

This was my latest of many hiking trips I have taken with Iulian's guide services. As usual, his route selection and flexibility to work with my schedule and abilities made for a fantastic hike! I have come to depend on his expertise in the region and he has become a friend and outdoor mentor based on the many hours we have spent hiking together over several years. He arranges tours well based on a hiker's abilities and he knows I enjoy a challenge. This trip did not disappoint - it was very memorable and challenging! There is also no substitute for the beauty of the remote regions of Romania. Thanks again for a great weekend!

Seine Betreuung vor und während des Aufenthalts lies keine Wünsche offen. Besonders gut fanden wir, dass wir das Dorf seiner Großmutter kennengelernt haben und auf der Hütte mit am Küchentisch sitzen durften. Die Freundlichkeit der Menschen war beeindruckend. Auch für unsere weitere Reise durch Rumänien hat er uns noch viele gute Tipps gegeben und eine tolle Tour ins Donaudelta organisiert. Wir danken Julian für die schönen Tage in den Karpaten und werden, wenn sich die Gelegenheit ergibt, gerne wieder kommen.

Beste Iulian, Hoewel we de afgelopen week in September maar een paar dagen te besteden hadden, ben je er in geslaagd om een prachtige trip voor ons te organiseren. Ik heb uitgebreid genoten van je kennis over Roemenië, haar cultuur & historie en natuurlijk de bergen zelf. Heb een boel geleerd deze paar dagen. Overigens niet in het minst betreffende jullie prima bier, wijn en worstjes. Dank dat je dit voor ons hebt geregeld. Wij zouden je organisatie - en zeker jou - zonder twijfel aanbevelen voor dit soort trips. Het beste,

Although we only had a few days this September to get a flavour of your beautiful mountains, you succeeded in arranging a beautiful trip for us. I really enjoyed your knowledge on the country, its history, culture and nature, and of course the mountains itself. Learned a lot these few days. Not in the least on the excellent beers, wines and sausages. Thanks for arranging this for us. We would receommend your organization without any hesitation for these kind of trips.
