Some trips stand out not just for the trails, but for the stories that unfold along the way. Our first trip with Peter from Ireland was one of those special ones — three unforgettable days of riding across the best trails around Păltiniș and Rășinari, filled with breath-taking views, great conversations, and the kind of mountain magic that reminds us why we love doing this.
Every great ride tells a story — about the trails, the people, and the moments in between. Our first trip with Chris from the UK and John from South Africa was exactly that kind of story: two unforgettable days of mountain adventure, world-class riding, and the kind of camaraderie that only comes from sharing the trail.
We’re developing a new 4-day challenge route, for both gravel bikes and mountain bikes’ It’ll take you from the mountain resort of Paltinis in Transylvania, exploring the epic trails of Europe’s last great wilderness. Join the ride, on the adventure revolution – with TRIADA mountain bike!
It’s thankfully quite refreshing to know that there is still a place in the world, and an event to really challenge yourself on, and that actually means something – welcome then to the Transfăgărășan Challenge, and the opportunity to cycle up what is correctly described as the most spectacular ribbon of tarmac in the world – the Transfăgărășan Highway, in Romania.
Take a trip to transfixing Transylvania and let Alex and the team at ‘OutVentures’ create the mountain bike trip of a lifetime for you. With some of the best mountain biking trails in Europe to explore, it’s time to ride – in the epic mountains of Romania!
Transylvania, a fascinating and quite beautiful region of Romania, has been central to European history for centuries. In more modern times, we tend to think of it simply in terms of the quite false literary account of Count Dracula. In truth, there’s so much more to Transylvania than vampires
Transylvania has been described as Europe’s last and most beautiful wilderness. It’s also home to the inspiring mtb racer, Tudor Oprea, and he’s got an all-new epic for you ride. Welcome to the ‘TRILOGY OF THE TRAILS’, the future of off-road adventures. This epic new off-road biking festival takes on gravel bikes, XC & trail mountain bikes, and e-mountain biking, over 3 epic weekend festivals in the Carpathian Mountains. Read here to find out more…
It’s a year now, since I was cycling upwards, in the hills close to the historic city of Sibiu, deep in Transylvania. I returned again in winter, visiting people I regard as family, and the wonderful Sibiu Christmas market. It’s a city that’s easy to fall in love with, filled with amazing architecture, a warm ambience and some of the most beautiful mountains in Europe.
If you still don’t know where the Transfăgărășan Highway is, and that it’s described by many as ‘the best road in the world’, then give your head a shake please!
This epic ribbon of tarmac, winds its way chaotically across the mountains, close to the historic city of Sibiu, in Transylvania, Romania – itself a World Heritage Site.
This is an epic ride into the hills, with a long and steep start. However, you’re more than rewarded, with an epic and extremely long descent through the hills and forests. The views over the mountains are spectacular, and you’re also close enough to historic Sibiu, a World Heritage Site city, to make it your base for a great cycling vacation.
