The Bucegi Massif has conglomerates and limestones deposited on crystalline schists, and therefore it appears as a suspended syncline called the Bucegi Plateau, with conglomeratic formations. It has significant heights such as Omu Peak (2,505 m), Bucsoiu Peak (2,492 m), Costila Peak (2,490 m), Scara Peak (2,422 m) and others. The Leaota Massif, mostly composed of crystalline schists, has a gentle landscape with high peaks, reaching heights of 2,133 m (Leaota Peak), 2,005 m (Rateiul Peak).
