Tour details

Are you tired of the noise and crowds of the city? Do you feel the need for a getaway into the heart of nature? It’s time to escape! Join us for a weekend in the Rarău Massif and let yourself be enveloped by the scent of the forests and the season’s vibrant colors.

Giumalău Peak → At an altitude of 1,857 meters, Giumalău Peak is the highest point of the massif and offers panoramic views of the entire region. The climb is moderate, and once at the summit, your efforts are rewarded with an impressive landscape.

Pietrele Doamnei → These legendary rock formations are a landmark of the Rarău Massif. Surrounded by mystery and local legends, the impressive cliffs dominate the scenery and attract numerous visitors.

Popii Rarăului → These limestone formations, shaped by wind and rain erosion, feature unique forms. They represent another attraction for hikers and offer a rare geological spectacle.

Rarău Peak → Reaching an altitude of 1,651 meters, Rarău Peak is another panoramic point in the massif. From here, you can see Pietrele Doamnei and other rock formations in the area, and on clear days, a fairytale-like view opens up over the entire massif and surrounding regions.

These mountains are suitable for both beginners and experienced hikers. With moderate difficulty, the trail is accessible while still providing an experience full of emotions and unforgettable views. We assure you’ll return home with memories and landscapes that seem straight out of a storybook.
