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 [ AllTipsAndTricks.com, [http://www.alltipsandtricks.com/blog/2006/12/09/chill-out-in-the-ice-hotel-at-balea-lac/ Chill Out in The Ice Hotel at Balea Lac] , December 9, 2006] .
