La Om, Mountain summit in Brașov County, Romania.

La Om Peak in the Piatra Craiului Mountains reaches 2238 meters and displays limestone ridges along steep slopes that define the surrounding landscape. The mountain's structure shows sharp rock formations and extensive meadows typical of this mountain range.

La Om is the highest point of the Piatra Craiului Mountains at 2238 m, also called Piscul Baciului (Hirtenspitze). The massif lies in the Romanian Southern Carpathians, in Brașov County, about 9 km southwest of Zărnești. The main ridge path crosses the summit, linking the approaches from Refugiul Grind and the steep, cable-secured route from Refugiul Șpirla.

Local shepherds use the mountain meadows following traditional methods and maintain centuries-old pastoral practices that still shape how people live in the surrounding villages. The seasonal movement of flocks across these pastures remains an integral part of the region's way of life.

The easiest ascent starts from the southeast via the Refugiul Grind shelter; routes from Cabana Plaiul Foii through Zăplaz and Șaua Grindu, or from Cabana Curmătura via Refugiul Grindu, take about 3 hours. The northwest approach via Refugiul Șpirla is very steep and partly secured with steel cables. A ridge path crosses the summit along the Piatra Craiului crest.

The summit serves as a natural vantage point where hikers can spot brown bears, deer, and chamois moving through their natural habitat. These animals make use of the mountain meadows and forests, and attentive visitors may catch glimpses of them or see signs of their presence.
