Description

Situated less than an hour south of Cluj-Napoca, the Turda Gorge is the perfect place for a 2-day rock climbing adventure!

Our local and knowledgable guides are in the unique position to take you far off the beaten path and to some of the best climbing spots around.

Each morning, we will meet up in Cluj-Napoca and drive down to the trailhead. From here, we make a gorgeous hiking approach through the verdant canyon floor, before turning off onto an unmarked trail and climbing up to an exposed and isolated part of the canyon.

Enjoying great views back into the canyon as well as out over our surroundings in the Carpathian foothills, we will make various ascents over the course of both days. Depending on your skill level, we will find the perfect place to climb!

Before our trip comes to its conclusion, we will also head up a via ferrata route in order to get some panoramic views as well. Even the most inexperienced rock climbers will be able to climb the iron path and enjoy the feeling of summiting a craggy peak.

So what are you waiting for? Book now for this incredibly scenic and unique 2-day rock climbing trip to the stunning Turda Groge, in the foothills of Romania's Carpathian Mountains!

I had 2 amazing rock climbing days. Dan was a fantastic and super knowledgeable climbing instructor. I learned so much and really enjoyed myself.

David

Thanks Lucian for an amazing trip in the Făgăraș mountains, he was very skilled and flexible with regards to shifting conditions. Although we did not reach the peak due to bad weather, he made up a new route and I got the full 2 days regardless. Would strongly recommend to people with a little bit of hiking/climbing experience at least. Bring warm clothes, gloves and headwear!

I had an incredible hike with Lucian and can't recommend this company enough! Brilliant communication and very accomodating. Lucian was an incredible mountain guide who was super flexible, kind, funny and it was like hiking with a friend. He knows so much about the mountains and the trails. It really was one of the best hikes I've done! Thanks again
