Ciucas Peak (1954m) is the highest point of the Ciucas Massif, offering panoramic spectacular views (during the clear days, of course). For reaching it, we choose the trail that starts from Bratocea Pass (on DN1A – Brasov-Bucharest), and follows, then, Bratocea ridge line.

Once arrived în Tigăilor Saddle, we can admire beautiful rock formations, as Goliath and The Old Man with Sheep.

From here, we will have our final (and steeper) push to the summit. However, it will be very rewarding, as long as the views from Ciucas Peak (both to the North and South) will leave us speechless. For lunch break, we will stop in a ”balcony”, in the proximity of the summit.

For our way back, we will follow, first, a different path (that leads to Ciucas mountain hut), but soon we will turn right to Tigăilor Saddle, where we re-enter into the trail followed in the morning.

Before booking your place, please be sure that you make a realistic assesment of your abilities (both physical and mental). Also, read carefully the Grading System and my Terms and Conditions.
