Comisu Wildlife Experience Hides

Description Comisu Wildlife Experience Hides

Up in a high meadow above the tree lines lie Comisu hides, a great place for those who love adventures off the beaten track. The views up there are hard to beat!

---

Period: 01 May - 01 October

Let us take you on a hiking trip to the most beautiful and unspoiled parts of Făgăraș Mountains, where breathtaking views await and wildlife roams free!

You will spend an unforgettable time watching and tracking wildlife from this wooden hide located at 1,600 m. Get a chance to see bear, lynx, wolf, red deer, roe deer or the newly reintroduced European bison, roaming around free! A unique mountaineering experience!

Built by Foundation Conservation Carpathia in 2017 as part of the largest private conservation project in Europe, the hides are located on the south-eastern side of the highest mountain range in Romania and are a green business example that has a positive impact on the environment.

Highlights

We welcome those who wish to enjoy a great adventure – whilst off the beaten track: at our Comisu Wildlife Hides which offer basic accommodation, above the hills and forests. Piatra Craiului, Făgăraș and Iezer-Păpușa Mountains offer breathtaking views at sunset.

Remember to stay quiet at dawn and dusk, as you may have pleasant (wildlife) surprises. The adventure includes accommodation, off-road transportation to the valley, specialised guide and full board.

Itinerary

Enjoy a hiking trip (of around 2 hours, depending on your fitness level) to Comisu hide.

At dusk, look for bears, wild boar, foxes, red deer or roe deer from the safety of the hide.

In the evening, enjoy a home-made dinner and a beer. We spend our evenings telling stories.

At the crack of dawn, wake up to see wildlife with a mug of fresh tea or coffee.

After a delicious breakfast, you may choose from several hiking trails to explore the surroundings (for a minimum stay of 2 nights). During our journey, we may check our camera traps for wildlife monitoring.

At lunchtime, we choose a scenic place with a breathtaking view over Făgăraș and Iezer-Păpușa Mountains to relax and enjoy a well-deserved picnic (this applies for minimum stay 2 nights; for one-night stay, you will receive a packaged lunch).

In 2025, we are excited to share some changes to enhance your experience with us. We’ve worked hard to renovate the shepherd's hut above the Comisu Observatory, which will now serve as the primary base for our excursions to this beautiful area. Observatories 1 and 2 will continue to be available for your observation needs. The new hut will comfortably accommodate guests, with six bunk beds and a double bed, along with a separate space for our guide and cook when your group has more than six people. If your group grows to more than eight, we’re pleased to offer the option of using Comisu Observatory 1, which can host four additional guests. Please keep in mind that while we are striving to create a welcoming environment, there will be no running water available in the hut. However, we’ve arranged for an ecological toilet conveniently located behind the building. We appreciate your understanding and can’t wait to welcome you!

The Comisu Observatory and the Comisu Hut cannot be used at the same time by two different groups.
