Organized by Ardelean Tours, the popular Padis Snowmobile Tour will take place again from February 6–9, 2025. This exciting guided tour allows you to explore the wonders of winter nature. The Apuseni Mountains are a defining massif in western Romania, featuring the Padis Karst Plateau at its heart, just 100 km from the Hungarian-Romanian border. The Padis Karst Plateau in the Bihor Mountains is one of the most unique karst regions in Transylvania and Romania, with every type of karst phenomenon represented here. During the tours, we’ll traverse the enchanting landscapes of the Padis Plateau, where snow-covered forests, icy cliffs, and crystal-clear streams create a magical atmosphere. The snowmobile rides offer a unique experience, bringing true winter magic to every participant. Thanks to this activity, you’ll explore the snow-covered terrain not only on foot but also by snowmobile, bringing you even closer to nature.
