Cycling day trip from Predeal to Sinaia

Ready for a classic Carpathian ride? Kick things off in Predeal, a charming mountain town and ski hub, perched at around 1,000 meters altitude. From here, your 31-kilometer journey south toward Sinaia promises both a leg-burning challenge and some iconic Romanian scenery.

The route is a bit of a rollercoaster: nearly 950 meters of climbing and even more descending, maxing out at 1,433 meters above sea level. Surfaces vary—expect stretches of classic asphalt and paved roads, but keep your eyes peeled for rougher patches with gravel and ground, especially as you wind through forest tracks and quieter mountain roads.

The best part? Once you arrive in Sinaia, the “Pearl of the Carpathians,” you can unwind by visiting the magnificent Peleș Castle or strolling around the historic resort town that’s famous for its royal connections and beautiful mountain backdrop.

Bring your climbing legs, pack for mixed surfaces, and get ready for a truly epic Transylvanian adventure!
