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 high… (>>>)

Italian mountain guide ski touring in Romania
Grazie mille Julien, la settimana passata (6-13 Mar) sui tuoi Carpazi è stata organizzata molto bene grazie alla tua flessibilità e organizzazione non ci hai fatto mancare nulla di quello che potevi dare in quelle condizioni meteo così brutte ma che hanno dato lo stesso la bellezza e il fascino delle tue particolari montagne. Lo scialpinismo da te è veramente indicato non per amanti del ripido o collezionisti di cime, ma per amanti della natura dei boschi delle traversate in sci da un paese all’altro dei Carpazi.. le due zone visitate … (>>>)
American doctor ski touring in Romania
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 experie… (>>>)
Skitourenwoche Rumänien
Lieber Iulian, Vielen Dank für die tolle Skitourenwoche Ende Februar in Rumänien. Beim zweiten Versuch hatten wir nun auch Wetterglück und konnten einige schöne Touren im Bucegi- und Ciucas- Massiv geniessen. Speziell die Uebernachtung auf dem Omu mit atemberaubendem Sonnenaufgang und die wild-romantischen Chiucas-Mountains haben mir sehr gut gefallen. Wie immer hat mich dein Organisationstalent beeindruckt. Trotz Programmwechsel hat von Transport bis Unterkunft alles bestens geklappt. Nun zuhause kann ich mit den sc… (>>>)
Raquettes à travers les Carpates
Nous remercions très chaleureusement Iulian pour cette magnifique semaine de snowboard et de raquettes à travers les Carpates : Lac Balea, Poiana Brasov, Sinaia, Ciucas. Iulian est le guide qu’il vous faut si vous voulez découvrir ou redécouvrir la Roumanie et ses montagnes. Nous avons passé une semaine superbe en sa compagnie, tout était très bien organisé, j’ai hâte de revenir en été ou pour une session héliportée… Encore merci Iulian, à très bientôt en montagne!

Israeli hikers in Fagaras and Bucegi mountains
I had the pleasure of being guided by Iulian on a 12 day trip to Romania in September 2008. We were a group of 15 people from Israel wishing to combine walks through the ravishing scenery of the Carpathian Mountains with visits to some of the historical attractions of the area’s cities and towns (e.g. Brasov, Sibiu, Sighisoara, Bucharest). By leading a group of people no longer in the bloom of their youth, each with his personal requirements and desires, Iulian had taken on quite a job. Well, I must say, he did this with the utmost sense of di… (>>>)
Bucegi and Fagaras mountains traverse – August 2008
I am glad to write a testimonial about a trip that me and my wife had in Romania with Iulian, but first a few words about me and Romania. I have been a lot of times in Romania in my childhood, amassing country, amassing and very kind people (even at hard times – before 1989). At the beginning of 2008 I decided to have a trip with my wife in Romania around August, we decide that the trip will be a trek without courts but a lot of walking and will include the highest peak of Romania. The area of the trip I choose my self after a lot of reading about Romania a… (>>>)
Israeli hikers in Fagaras mountains
אני שמח לכתוב הקדשה\ עדות על טיול שערכתי ברומניה עם יוליאן כמדריך, אך קודם אקדים כמה מילים על היכרותי עם רומניה. בילדותי טיילתי מספר רב של פעמים ברומניה, ארץ מדהימה, נוף מדהים ואנשים נחמדים וטובי לב (גם בתקופות קשות – לפני 1989). בתחילת שנת 2008 החלטתי לצאת באזור אוגוסט עם אישתי לטיול ברומניה כשהכוונה היא טיול בעל אופי של מסע, ללא שינה באוהלים אך הליכות מרובות וטיפוס על הפסגה הגבוהה ברומניה. את האזורים לטיול החלטתי בעצמי תוך קריאה מעמיקה על רומניה. חיפשתי מדריך (לאו דווקא רומני) על מנת להדריך אותנו בהרים, לדאוג להסעות בקטעי הקישור ולדאוג למ… (>>>)
Germans hikers in Fagaras mountains
We, Karina (27) and Tom (33), are a couple from Germany and visited Romania from Nov. 08th until Nov. 17th, 2008. We traversed the Fagaras Mountains from East to West within 5 days. It was our first hike in the autumn and from our point of view one of the most beautiful trips we have ever made. However, the perfect weather conditions as well as our nice mountaineering guide, who knows his business thoroughly, were decisive for this successful holiday. Especially the last two days in Ucea de Sus village were a great experience for us. It was v… (>>>)
Walking in Bucegi mountains
My wife and I contracted with Iulian to put together a 10 day trek in the mountains of Romania in Sept 2008. We had hiked extensively but knew nothing of Romania and needed some guidance on how to cover the best areas effectively in that amount of time and also to arrange overnights (huts, inns, small hotels). We didn’t need a guide- just guidance. Iulian did all of that and more. The self–guided trek he put together for us exactly met our needs and the planning and follow- through was faultless. We were extremely impressed with the level of p… (>>>)
