Description

Nestled in the heart of the Apuseni Mountains, the Marisel Resort is the ideal starting point for an incredibly fun and exciting downhill mountain biking adventure.

After meeting up and checking out all of our gear, our adventure begins. We'll head down steep but well-maintained trails, racing through forests and enjoying stunning views out into the rest of the Carpathian Mountains as we go.

Depending on your skill level, there are several different routes down the mountain that we will be able to try out. Both intermediate and advanced mountain bikers will find something perfectly challenging and exciting here.

As we race down from the resort into the valley below we'll also have the chance to see local villages and get a sense of what life is like in this rural part of Romania.

After a long but fun day of riding, we'll have the option to stop off at a pub and unwind a bit with some local beer and food (not included in the price) before saying our goodbyes and heading back to Cluj-Napoca.

So what are you waiting for? Book now for this fun and exciting 1-day downhill mountain biking trip from the Marisel Resort, near Cluj-Napoca!

Mountain Guide

My name is Catalin. I am based in Cluj-Napoca, Romania. I am a passionate skier, mountain biker, climber and photographer, certified as a Mountain Guide, Ski Instructor, MTB Guide and Camp Leader.

I've been skiing all my life, since I was around three years old, and I couldn't imagine winter without ski or without the cold days on the white slopes. Mountain biking is the sport that fills in the summer days, when snow is missing. Shredding up and down the trails keeps the mind focused and the muscles fit.

Climbing is what challenges me to overcome my limits and makes me want to become better and better. And, last, but not least, photography is how I try to capture the beauty of nature and people and share it with everyone else.

I am trying to seed my passions in the hearts of youngsters and when I am not guiding I am working with children in MTB, ski, media creation or adventure camps.

I am looking forward towards meeting you so that I can share with you the great beauty of the Romanian mountains and offer you a memorable adventure.

Absolutely excellent trip! Guide Cata was spectacular at assessing our skill level and picking the perfect trail. We would love to travel again with him. The trails around Cluj are great for MTB. I was less impressed with the ExploreShare interface. It was clunky to use and I wasn’t sure if messages were getting through. I did manage to find an excellent guide and experience, so I guess it all worked.
