Gura Haitii – Pietrele Roșii Peak – Tămăului Peak – Vorova valley – Dornișoara

What the walking is like

The western traverse of the Suceava Călimani: from Gura Haitii, past the Pietrele Roșii campsite, over Tămăului Peak (1,862 m), then a long descent down the Vorova valley to Dornișoara, the village of the Dorna's springs. No special gear, a long day.

What we'd tell you at the gate

• Pietrele Roșii is the only designated campsite in the massif.
• The return from Dornișoara: a car left there or the train from Dornișoara (the Vatra Dornei – Ilva Mică line).

What else you can do on the trail

• Ski touring in winter, on the open ridges (only with experience and avalanche kit).
• 🐴 Horse riding: tours from Gura Haitii and Poiana Negrii.
• Mountain biking on the old logging roads from Gura Haitii.

What grows and what moves along the trail

The species above are those documented in the area by the protected-area administration; what you see depends on season, hour and luck.

How long it takes, honestly

A linear trail: the time is one way (A → B). If you return the same way, add about two thirds; or leave a car at the far end / take the train. The duration is the one in Suceava County's official guide (Salvamont); the kilometres and driving minutes to the trailhead are from Google Maps.

• 7–8 hoursone way, A to B, at your usual pace
• 5 hoursback the same way (estimate)
• 12–13 hoursout and back, with short breaks
• 10–12 hoursone way, if you stop for photos and eat on the grass
• 12–14 hoursone way, with children, grandparents or a pack full of “just in case”
