This is transport only. the driver there was pretty negative, said the cablecar might not be running, and transfagarasan is not even that great. the price was fair for the distance - 2 of us went. we knew the season was ending and cable car is weather dependent and we took that risk. It paid off! the fog cleared and we got straight on a cable car to the top, arrived before the coaches ( and other people,) hiked up one of the short trails , went for hot drinks, had our picnic, enjoyed the views and came down again with time to hike the waterfall until our ride back just after 4. it was a good day😊 do your homework, know what to expect, be prepared, and know the risk of it not running is yours- thats controlled by weather and numbers of people ( cablecar runs with minimum 7 people). Was no issue for us, but if it doesn't, you may be stuck for things to do. That's travelling though isn't it?!
