<p>After occupying the rooms, we distribute the equipment and set up the skis for the next day's hike. During the dinner we taste the local plum brandy.</p>

<p>After breakfast, we leave by car to Harghita Madaras ski resort, where today's tour starts from.</p><p>We are going to a shorter warm-up tour in order to introduce you to the use of the skitouring equipment and practice the right movements. An easy hike leads us to the Szökő Falls.</p><p>The spring waters coming from the southern side of Harghita Madaras are slowly running down and soaking up the soil, creating a special mire-peat habitat. A significant number of species remained from ice age are living in them. Their survival was supported by the cool climate of the Harghita Mountains. Most of them are introduced on the "red list" of protected plants. Where the hillside descends significantly, the water reappears and creates a waterfall known as the Szökő Waterfall.</p><p>In the evening, as an optional program, we can relax our tired muscles at the Septimia Wellness Center in Odorheiu Secuiesc.</p>

<p>This day’s starting point is also the Harghita Madaras ski resort. From here we aim for the highest point of the Harghita mountain range, the Harghita Madaras peak.</p><p>The peak also called ‘the Székelys’s holy mountain’ offers a beautiful view of the surrounding mountains. In clear weather almost the entire line of the Southern Carpathians can be seen. </p><p>The day ends with a well-deserved dinner, which can be enjoyed at one of the restaurants in Madarasi Hargita.</p>
