Geomorphosites are landforms that have acquired, in time, a certain value (scientific, cultural, aesthetic, ecological and/or economic). This article presents a statistical analysis of the results obtained during our evaluation of geomorphosites, including their associated value in the minds of tourists. The Bucegi Mountains were considered to be an appropriate study area given their great variety in geomorphosites and their accessibility (the highest infrastructure density in the whole Carpathian area). We selected, catalogued and evaluated the best‐known geomorphosites in the Bucegi Mountains without making it our goal to map them. Tourists' opinions were assessed by questionnaire and the data obtained were statistically processed
