What to expect
This is a full-day hike.
Go in search of rare wildflowers, wonderful mushrooms, endemic plants and experience the pristine nature of the Apuseni Mountains on this tour from Cluj. Travel into the mountains to the village of Posaga de Sus, where you’ll begin an alpine hike through beech forest to Scarita peak, which sits at an altitude of 1384 meters (4541 feet). Due to the altitude and difficulty of the hike, participants require a moderate fitness level for this tour. Tour suited to those interested in flora and fauna, hiking, and photography.
The trip starts at 8 o'clock in the morning with a pickup from your accommodation in CLuj-Napoca. Our hike started at Posaga village, followed by an abrupt path through a beech forest, which led to an alpine zone with an exquisite sight to the calcareous, white cliffs. We passed by some abandoned wood hovels, than climbed to the ridge, reaching the highest peak.
On the hiking, route will be full of wildflowers and fungi which we will identify :) On our return if we have time left we will visit a beautiful waterfall that is called Sipote and Dumesti village. In the evening we will take you back to your accommodation in Cluj-Napoca.

Our guide Tudor was wonderful and very knowledgeable, it felt like hiking with an old friend! He showed us the most beautiful viewpoints and was super encouraging and helpful during some of the more challenging parts of the hike, like climbing up some rocks in one place. We will never forget the experience, could not recommend enough!Hi all! I am so happy to share my unforgetable impressions of the Scarita Belioara tour.

Hi all! I am so happy to share my unforgetable impressions of the Scarita Belioara tour. Amazing place, adventure and fairytale alike fabulous views, all together in one amazing experience ❤️ And of course our tour guide Tudor exceeded all our expectations with his attentive approach, professional guidance, entertainment and a lot of fun for my teens 😄 I would love to return to the place many more times with Curly Giude Tours! 😉Tudor was very nice and super knowledgeable! I was lucky to be solo with him, so he was able to tailor the trip for me - it was so special to be at these places on our own as opposed to being with a large group.

Tudor was very nice and super knowledgeable! I was lucky to be solo with him, so he was able to tailor the trip for me - it was so special to be at these places on our own as opposed to being with a large group. Bad weather plus my lack of hiking boots prevented us from doing the large summit, but I’ll definitely be coming back for more with Tudor when I can!Beautiful hike but don’t underestimate it, there’s a bit of gd 1 scrambling and decent fitness is required, the views are worth it! Tudor was fantastic and the tour is highly recommended
