winter hiking Archives - Romanian Mountain Leader

Leaota Mountains are fabulous during this time of the year, when they are painted in white. During the clear days, with good visibility, they offer fantastic all around views, being possible to admire the western side of Bucegi Mountains, but, also, the entire massif of Piatra Craiului and a large parte of Iezer Păpușa Mountains. The start/finish point of our tour is located in Moieciu de Sus village (the end of paved road, near the barrier to Bangaleasa valley). For the way up, we will follow the trail that leads us to the point called La Bisericuță. From here, we will head off South, and, once we reach the alpine area, we will choose as playground Dudele Mari neighborhood (having the highest altitude of 1954m).
