Excursion à vélo d’une journée de Azuga à Câmpina

Get set for a truly adventurous ride from Azuga to Câmpina! This roughly 61 km route starts in Azuga, a mountain resort nestled in the Prahova Valley, famous for both its winter slopes and stunning summer scenery. You’ll immediately be treated to some serious mountain action, with over 1800 meters of ascent — and an even bigger descent — as you make your way south.

Expect a real mixed-bag in terms of terrain. Only about a quarter of the route is smooth asphalt; the rest is a combination of gravel, dirt tracks, and some unpaved segments — so a gravel or mountain bike is your best bet. You'll spend a good amount of time off the main roads, soaking up forest and mountain views, possibly even spotting some wildlife.

After all that adventure, you’ll roll into Câmpina, known for its relaxed vibe and the beautiful Iulia Hașdeu Castle. All in all, this route is perfect if you love climbs, fast descents, and don’t mind getting your tires a little dirty!
