Clear your mind and energize the body in an active weekend ascending on a route in Retezatul Mic. We climb with snowshoes through the hibernal forest and then through the alpine gap to Piatra Iorgovanului (2014m). On the top we have a spectacular perspective over the snowy peaks of Retezat, Oslea Peak, Țarcu and Godeanu Mountains, but also the distant Parâng! Sunday morning after breakfast we continue exploring nature with an easy hike to the Valea Marăii waterfall.

Give yourself a healthy gift and spend the weekend connected to nature, in a friendly environment, with cool people and spectacular winter landscapes!


Difficulty level: Medium. This tour is suitable for exercise and nature lovers, but also for those who want to experience a mountain outing in safe conditions. With the right equipment, the route can also be done by a person with no experience in winter mountain trails.
