The large number of tourists, especially on the north side of the massif, and also the easier way of reaching the ridge from the Fagaras Depression (north side) have led to an uneven spreading of the chalets along the Fagaras chain. This way, on the south side of the massif there are only 3 chalets, while on the north there are 11. However, the construction of the Vidraru dam, and the "Transfagarasan" road have determined increasing traffic on the south side as well. Chalets in the Fagaras Mountains: Chalets on the north side; Chalets on the south side. Shelters: These are the only means of protection from storms or avalanches (in winter, of course). Chalets on the north side The Suru,Poiana Neamtului,Barcaciu and Negoiu Chalets The Paltinu Chalet and The Balea Waterfall Hotel The Turnuri(Towers) and Arpas Chalets The Sambata Tourism Complex and The Podragu Chalet The Valea Sambetei and Urlea Chalets
