Abstract. The glacial landform of the Parâng Mountains (Southern Carpathians). The glacial system manifested itself in the Parâng Mountains, as well as in all the Southern Carpathians, during the last two Pleistocene glacial phases. The traces of the glacial activity in the Parâng Mountains are represented by: erosion forms (glacial cirques, valleys, thresholds, shoulders, sheepback rocks, saddles etc.) and accumulation forms (moraines). The glacial morphology of these mountains is relic today. There are two large glacial complexes, located in the northern part of the massif (the Jieț and the Lotru complexes). The glacial cirques of the Latoriţa basin and other small cirques located on the southern slope of the Parâng Mountains are also considered.

Key-Words: Parâng Mountains, Pleistocene glacial system, relic glacial morphology.
