Excursion à vélo d’une journée de Predeal à Ploieşti

Ready for an epic ride? Kick things off in Predeal, a cool mountain town that’s one of Romania’s most popular ski resorts—so expect fresh air and awesome forest scenery. You’ll tackle some serious ups and downs as you cross the Carpathians (get ready for a leg-burning 2800 meters of climbing!), with stretches of unpaved trails blending into quiet country roads. About a third of your journey will be paved, but you’ll roll through plenty of rugged gravel and forest tracks—adventure seekers, this one’s for you!

The route winds south, so you’ll glide out of the high mountains, descend past fields and villages, and finally spin into Ploieşti, the capital of Prahova county—famous for its oil industry and vibrant city vibe. Expect a solid day on the saddle (it’s almost 120 km!), but the stunning landscapes and variety of surfaces will keep things interesting. Bring snacks, plenty of water, and a spirit of adventure—you’re in for a ride you won’t forget!
