Heliski
The most attractive areas are the massive ridges of Iezer Papusa Mountains as well as some areas from Fagaras Mountains, from the smooth edges and eastern valleys to the mountain valleys – Vistea Mare, Vistisoara, Podragu, and other massifs from the Carpathians, like Bucegi mountains.
Usually, during one day, one could ski approximately ~3500-4000 metres level difference, which involves a good physical shape. Also, skiing is done only in off-piste areas, with big snow, so participants to such tours need to be good skiers.
Compulsory equipment: skis, shovel, avalanche transceiver / ARVA, protection helmet.
