Vârful Omu

Omu Peak is the highest summit of the Bucegi Mountains and one of the most important points of the Southern Carpathians, rising above 2500 metres. Set at the meeting of the main ridges of the massif, above the resort of Sinaia, the peak offers spectacular panoramas towards the surrounding summits, the Piatra Craiului Mountains and, on clear days, impressive distances. On the summit stand a chalet and a weather station, among the highest in the country. Access is exclusively on foot, along marked trails starting from Busteni, Sinaia or other points, demanding hikes that cross the alpine plateau and rocky ground.

As this is a high-altitude peak, the weather is harsh and can change suddenly even in summer, with strong wind, fog and cold. Full mountain gear, good physical condition and caution are required. Omu Peak is a reference destination for hikers and mountain enthusiasts.
