An authentic alternative to explore the Harghita Mountains in winter, far from crowded slopes
Your journey begins at the meeting point: Izvoare, a town in Harghita County, https://maps.app.goo.gl/rBpLKuyvLGxHGn4r5, about 2 hours away from Brasov, where a 4x4 transfer will take you uphill into the magical winter landscapes of Madarasi Harghita.
Once at the base, you will be welcomed by the local hosts and their gentle, strong horses prepared for the ride. Wrapped in warm blankets, you’ll embark on a traditional horse-drawn sleigh ride that lasts about an hour. The sleigh glides silently over the snow, carrying you through pine forests, rolling meadows, and hidden mountain paths.
The crisp winter air, combined with the sound of sleigh bells and the rhythm of hooves, creates a truly fairytale-like atmosphere. This is more than just a ride—it’s an eco-tourism experience, where respect for nature and animal welfare are at the heart. The horses are carefully trained and treated with care, ensuring the activity remains in harmony with the environment.
Along the way, there will be opportunities to stop for photos, breathe in the alpine air, and admire the sweeping views of the Eastern Carpathians in their winter glory.
This eco-friendly sleigh ride is a wonderful way to discover the Harghita Mountains in winter—slowly, peacefully, and in harmony with nature. Unlike skiing or snowboarding, it invites you to see the season’s beauty from another perspective: a traditional, timeless journey through snow-covered landscapes. Whether you come as a couple, a family, or a small group of friends, this experience offers both romance and adventure, and leaves you with unforgettable memories of winter in Transylvania.
