    Wir haben die Tour Mitte August mit 2 Familien gemacht. Am ersten Tag gab es Regen und so haben wir die Bahn für die ersten Höhenmeter genommen. Die Hütten sind sehr einfach. Die Wege sind schön und meist einsam. Teilweise sind die Anstiege nicht ohne. Unbedingt die lange Tour machen. Die 3. Hütte hat eine wunderschöne Aussicht, etwas mehr Komfort und der letzte Tag mit den alten Lärchen und der Suone ist was ganz Besonderes. Man sollte Kühe mögen. Wir mußten jeden Tag durch die Weideflächen. Die Tour ist mit Verpflegung gebucht und so hatten wir jeden Tag ein tolles Picknick für unterwegs.

    Sehr eindrücklich - nach der Wanderung empfiehlt sich eine Führung durch die Mauer (zuvor online buchen).

    Wirklich schöne Tour. Nach der Cabane de Prafleuri, ab km 6.1, führt der Weg offiziell weiter unten dem Bach entlang. Der auf der Karte eingezeichnete Weg ist zu Teil abgerutscht und vor allem Steinschlag gefährdet. Er wird auch nicht mehr unterhalten. Nach der Tour kann das Innere der Staumauer besichtigt werden, ca 1h (geführte Tour mit begrenztem Platzangebot. Am besten vor der Tour reservieren.

    Eine sehr schöne Tour. Wunderbare Ausblicke, viele Pflanzen- und Schmetterlingsarten und eine nette Hütte. Aber vielleicht je zwei Punkte für Technik und Kondition (T1/T2 SAC-Skala).
