You can easily find accommodation in Durau resort (which is literally on the massif itself, at 800 m altitude) or, besides other places, there is Dochia Chalet near Toaca Peak, at 1750 m altitude, the best choice if you want to get often, in a short time, to the peaks of the mountain (my stay at this chalet was a very convenient one). There are several peaks that you can climb during your stay on this mountain and the most interesting of them, in my opinion, are Toaca Peak and Ocolasul Mare Peak. They are also the highest peaks of The Ceahlau Massif. Toaca Peak is really worth climbing, even if it is not that easy to do. While being on the top of this peak, you get one of the most beautiful views; I found it amazing. See more..
