From the Pestera Hotel (1610m) the trail starts to the north, leaves the Cocorei Valley and passes through the meadows of a wide plateau, located between the Ialomița Valley (left) and Cocorei Valley (right). After 10-15 min. we reach the north end of the plateau, at a branching of roads (1640m). Before, towards Omu Peak, through the Obârşiei Valley, a blue band mark. Our route continues to the right, in a straight climb on the foot of Babelor’s Foot and then to the ridge. Continuing the climb along the crest of the Babelor’s Foot, the path crosses through the boulders and reaches a threshold at the base of a steep rocky area (1980m); turn left, and describing a serpentine, slip through a small rocky gorge and exit over the rocky area (2040m). From here we can easily climb through the meadows below the Babelor ridge, cross some villages, and after 20-30 min. we reach the ridge at Babele Chalet (2200m).

The trail continues along the Vîrfurile Mari ridge, on the south side, and after 10-15 minutes we reach
the alpine plain on the ridge. We continue East and soon the trail leaves the ridge and passes through Vâlcelul Cocoreiși. From there, we descend to the Lăptici Valley (1865m).
