You could literally turn around every meter to enjoy the magnificent panorama. Prerequisite: the view is good. Huge cairns point the way when visibility is poor. The path is rocky and sometimes quite steep. You should plan about 2 to 3 hours for the ascent from the valley.

Hiking

If you catch a nice day (which is very unlikely) you will of course be in the crowd here, but the views you will enjoy will reward you.
The path is elaborately laid out of stone blocks and was just renovated during our visit, so you had to run a little slalom around the big bags.

Hiking

A very nice way. Non-slip shoes for the way, sometimes he goes over larger stones and when going down the stones can be quite slippery. Warm clothes for the summit is recommended, even if you sweat when going up, it is damn cold and it can rain.
