Adventure fitness in Romania, as you will find it on this page, means time in the saddle in Transylvania's Carpathian Mountains. Both programmes listed here are eight-day riding weeks, so your activity comes from riding out on mountain and forest trails and from caring for your horse, rather than from a gym.
The first is an eight-day horseback journey through the Eastern Carpathians, based at Hipparion Ranch. Day one is a travel day: you are picked up in Gheorgheni and driven off-road by van up to the ranch, watching for deer, capercaillie or a bear on the way. Once you have settled in, you meet the horses, and the week also includes a night of brown bear watching. It is priced from 1690 EUR.
The second is a Transylvania riding week with a simple daily pattern. You have breakfast in the guesthouse dining room, head to the stables and tack up your own horse, with grooming help welcome too, then ride out in single file with an English-speaking guide. Expect Carpathian trails, forest canters and a night under canvas. It is priced from 845 GBP.
Together they suit you if you want a hands-on week with horses in the Carpathians and the chance to spot some of Romania's wildlife. You can choose between a ranch base with a night of bear watching or a guesthouse base with a night under canvas. Prices on this page start at 845 GBP for the guesthouse riding week and 1690 EUR for the ranch-based journey.
The two programmes on this page are priced from 845 GBP and from 1690 EUR. The Transylvania Riding Week starts at 845 GBP, while the eight-day horseback journey with a night of brown bear watching starts at 1690 EUR.
Both programmes on this page last eight days. On the ranch-based journey, day one is a travel day, when you are driven up to Hipparion Ranch and settle in.
Both are in Transylvania, in the Carpathian Mountains. The horseback journey is based at Hipparion Ranch in the Eastern Carpathians, while the riding week is based at a guesthouse with rides out on Carpathian trails.
For the eight-day horseback journey, you are picked up in Gheorgheni on day one. From there you are driven off-road in a van up to Hipparion Ranch in the Eastern Carpathians.
The ranch-based journey includes a night of brown bear watching. On the drive up to Hipparion Ranch you also watch for deer, capercaillie or a bear along the way.
Days follow a simple pattern. You have breakfast in the guesthouse dining room, head to the stables to tack up your own horse, with grooming help welcome too, and then ride out in single file with an English-speaking guide.
The Transylvania Riding Week includes a night under canvas alongside its Carpathian trail rides and forest canters. The ranch-based journey includes a night of brown bear watching instead.
On the Transylvania Riding Week, you ride out in single file with an English-speaking guide. This is how each day's riding is organised on that programme.
