Excursion à vélo d’une journée de Azuga à Braşov

Get ready for an epic ride from Azuga to Brașov! This route covers just under 49 km, but don’t let the distance fool you—it’s got over 1,300 meters of ascent and even more in descent, so expect some big ups and thrilling downs. You’ll ride high into the mountains, peaking around 1,564 meters, catching fresh air and killer views.

Most of your route is on unpaved and gravel surfaces (over 65%), with long stretches along forest tracks and forgotten paths, so a gravel or mountain bike is your best buddy here. You’ll be rolling through remote forests for much of the way before dropping toward the lively city of Brașov.

Azuga is a cozy former ski and mountain town, once famous for its sparkling wine, while Brașov welcomes you with medieval charm, lively piazzas, and those iconic Carpathian peaks as a backdrop. Pack snacks, check your brakes, and get ready for a wild, off-the-beaten-path adventure into the heart of Transylvania!
