The Fagaras Mountains are a mountain range in the Southern Carpathians with the highest peak in Romania, Moldoveanu Peak 2,544 meters.

From east to west, the Fagaras are 70 km long and from north to south, about 45 km long. The mountains look like a huge east-to-west oriented spine, with the "ribs" (ridges) oriented north to south. The northern ridges are much shorter and steeper than the southern ones, which are very long and gentle. The Fagaras Mountains are bordered in the west by the Olt Valley, and in the east by Barsa Grosetului and Dambovita rivers. In the north, they are bordered by the steep tectonic basin of the Fagaras Depression, also known as the Olt Land. To the north, the difference in elevation on a distance of only 8-10 km is of over 2,000 meters. To the south, the 30-40 km long ridges (Olanului, Robita, Scarisoara, Nisipuri, Zarna, etc.) create a much less pronounced boundary with the depressions (Campulung, Bradetu, Arefu and Jiblea).

Across the Fagaras, there are 8 peaks with an elevation of over 2,500 meters: Moldoveanu 2,544 m, Negoiu 2,535 m, Vistea Mare 2,527 m, Caltun-Lespezi 2,522 m, Vanatoarea lui Buteanu 2,507 m, Cornu Caltunului 2,510 m, Hartopu 2,506 m, Dara 2,501 m.

The highest alpine road in Romania, the Transfagarasan, crosses the Fagaras from north to south. There are few nature reserves in the Fagaras when compared to the great number of endemic plants and spectacular landscapes.
