Drive from Bucharest into the Carpathian foothills for a guided, high-speed ATV outing across forest tracks and short ridge climbs. Training and a local lunch are included; ATV rental fee (≈250 lei/hr) is extra.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You pull away from Bucharest before sunrise and the city’s flat horizon gives way to folded ridgelines; after roughly ninety minutes of highway and winding valley roads you arrive at a small mountain town at the foot of the Southern Carpathians. The air is cooler here, forests pressing close to the dirt tracks, and the ATVs sit ready—throbbing, impatient.

7 hours
Fitness Level
Light to moderate cardiovascular fitness—able to sit and control an ATV for multiple short stints; not technically demanding but requires stamina for repeated maneuvers.
Wildlife
History
The Southern Carpathians have been seasonal routes for shepherding and trade; villages here grew around mountain passes and later mountain tourism in the 19th century.
Conservation
Motorized recreation can erode fragile soils and disturb wildlife—stick to marked routes, avoid wet meadows, and support operators who enforce trail rules.
Reserve your spot on the ATV Adrenaline Race in Carpathian today and enjoy a trusted, highly rated experience designed to help you make the most of your adventure.
Bring cash for ATV rental
ATV rental is typically paid on-site in cash (around 250 lei / hour); confirm currency and exact price with the operator before departure.
Wear closed-toe, grippy shoes
Sturdy hiking or motorcycle-style shoes help with foot placement on footrests and stability on uneven tracks.
Hydrate and pack a small daypack
Carry at least 1–2 liters of water and basic snacks—rides can be dusty and physically engaging even at moderate speeds.
Follow the guide and stay on designated tracks
Riding off-trail causes erosion and damages sensitive habitats; maintain group spacing and listen to braking/throttle instructions.
Helmet (if not provided)
A full-face or motocross-style helmet protects against debris and is often required by operators.
Protective gloves
Gloves improve grip on controls and protect hands from branches and vibration.
Sturdy closed-toe shoes
Hiking boots or robust trainers protect feet and provide traction on footrests and muddy exits.
Light waterproof layer
A packable shell helps with rain and wind in spring or sudden mountain showers.
