Quick ride by bicycle from Buşteni to Sinaia

This ride takes you from Bușteni to Sinaia, a scenic 10.7 km adventure in the heart of the Carpathian Mountains. Bușteni is known for its striking mountain views and as a gateway to hiking the stunning Bucegi Massif, so kick things off by soaking up those fresh alpine vibes.

The route throws a good mix at you: mostly asphalt and paved roads (about 57%), but expect nearly 40% to be unpaved paths and ground—perfect for a gravel bike or a mountain bike. You’ll climb about 366 meters (enough to wake up the legs), but the nearly 420 meters of descending mean plenty of fun, especially as you get closer to Sinaia.

Along the way, you’ll roll through quiet mountain roads and forested tracks, possibly catching glimpses of the historic Peleș Castle as you approach Sinaia—Romania’s former royal summer retreat. Finish your ride lounging in one of Sinaia’s cafés or exploring the town’s charming mix of nature and history. Definitely a must-ride for anyone wanting a dose of mountain adventure, away from busy roads!
