The expert's opinion

Route requiring a minimum of experience on generally well-marked mid-mountain trails.

A little training in mountain walking may be necessary, especially to cope with the elevation gain and the length of the walk.

The path is not always in good condition and there may be sections with stones, making the walk a little more difficult and strenuous.

4 to 6 hours of walking per day (excluding breaks)

High-top hiking boots and weather-appropriate clothing are necessary.

Positive elevation gain between 500 and 700m: It is better to be in good shape, or at least somewhat athletic, but it is still quite doable if you are used to a little physical activity, even light.

• If you are self-supported, there may be some off-trail sections, but the route generally remains obvious.

• Some sections may be exposed at times, and slips or missteps should be avoided by walking carefully.

• It may be necessary to pay attention to the accessibility of the route depending on the weather conditions.

In figures

  • Average duration/day: 5h30
