ASSIST Hiking Day - a memorable adventure to Lala Lakes and Ineu Peak
At ASSIST Software, we place a lot of significance on team activities, especially those involving sports. And how better to combine these two aspects if not through hiking? On Saturday, August 6th, we set off with colleagues and friends on an unforgettable hike to the Lala Lakes. A total of 120 people took on the challenge, and the most adventurous even continued on and conquered the Ineu peak, which stands at an altitude of 2278m.
The first ASSIST Hiking Day took place in 2018 and it has become a yearly tradition since then. Among the most impressive mountain adventures with the team was the Călimani Mountains hike from 2019. This year's trip to the Rodnei Mountains gave us the perfect backdrop to socialize, support each other and push our limits. Our colleagues made the most of the hours spent on the mountain to catch up with friends and connect with nature.
The breathtaking scenery tells a story by itself - the route to Lala Mare Lake was as stunning as the panoramas we found at our destination. Want to see for yourself? We tried to capture the beauty of the site as best we could. Watch the video below!
Lala Mare Lake is part of the Ineu-Lala mixed reservation. It is the largest glacial lake in the Rodnei Mountains, with an area of about 5637 square meters. The lake lies at an altitude of 1815 meters, in the shadow of Ineu Peak. The large area around the lake was the perfect oasis to relax.
The total distance from the starting point to Ineu Peak and back was 23 kilometers. For 8 hours, we admired spectacular scenery, enjoyed great company, and breathed fresh air. This hike was more than just a physical activity; together, we ventured and succeeded in getting further than we thought we could.
We thank everyone who participated in this outstanding hike. All the smiles and laughs shared gave us a boost of energy and pushed the tiredness away. We are grateful for this memorable day.
We look forward to future editions of ASSIST Hiking Day!
