    Tips

    The path is rocky, but well maintained and occasionally marked with E4 poles and trail signs. On the Afchenas saddle, 1,706 m, the E4 and the path to the summit separate. When you reach the stone pyramid, this is only the forepeak. The actual summit can be identified by a metal pole (remains of the summit cross). Snow fields are still to be expected here in May.

      The path from the forepeak to the actual summit is a bit more challenging. There are some small climbing sections. Marked with red dots.

        Caution: some sections are dangerous and the trail crosses several scree slopes. Do not venture out alone and avoid in the rain. We are used to mountain hikes, even demanding ones, but we were surprised by the danger of this one (hike carried out at the end of September 2025 in rain and wind / we stopped at the pass).
