Our trip starts from Lunca Bradului, Mureș county, Transylvania, Romania. How high in the valley you can go by car depends on snow conditions and on the vehicle available to you. We went 4 km close to the peak with a 4×4 jeep, but also with a normal car you can get fairly close to get this done in a short day.
We had a great short adventure with amazing slides in the Călimani mountains. Our ski track started uphill following a stream.
Later we climbed toward the Tihu peak’s ridge, ~ 50m south from the peak, as we had a nicer line this way to slide in.
This cool ridge is perpendicular to the main ridge line of the Călimani mountains, and the peak situates itself at 1799m altitude.
The terrain usually holds minor risk for an avalanche, especially under recent snow conditions, exception being areas from the main ridge of Călimani, visible in the image above.
