In bici da Sinaia a Buşteni

Get ready for a classic mountain ride between two of Prahova Valley’s most beautiful towns! Your journey kicks off in Sinaia, famous for its fairytale Peleș Castle and chic mountain resorts. The route to Bușteni covers just under 11 km, but don’t be fooled—there’s plenty of climbing (over 360 meters of ascent!), and you’ll get close to 1,060 meters above sea level.

You’ll start on mostly quiet asphalt roads, winding through scenic forests. About a third of the ride switches to unpaved and even ground or gravel sections, so adventure-friendly tires are a plus. Take your time on the rougher parts and soak in the fresh Carpathian air!

Bușteni welcomes you at the end—a charming mountain town with its own share of legends and a stunning view of the Bucegi Mountains (keep an eye out for the dramatic Caraiman Cross far above). Whether you’re here for hiking trails, castles, or just the mountain vibes, this route is as beautiful as it is rewarding. Happy pedaling!
