The
Bâlea Lake ('bɨ.lea) is a
glacier lake situated at 2,034 m of altitude in the
Făgăraş Mountains, in central
Romania, in
Sibiu County. There are two
chalets opened all the year round, a meteorological station and a mountain rescue (
Salvamont) station. It is accessible by car on the
Transfăgărăşan road during the summer, and the rest of the year by a
cable car from the "Bâlea Cascadă" chalet.
In 2006, the first ice hotel in Eastern Europe was built in the vicinity of the lake.
