Description

A hike where encounters with wildlife are guaranteed. A herd of mouflon sheep lives there, and it’s also not uncommon to see chamois, ibex, and, of course, marmots. The effort is more than rewarded by a breathtaking view from the summit.

Difficult sections

The final ridge is dizzying. Extreme caution is advised if you are prone to vertigo. Caution: Herd protection dogs may be present.
