Hard road ride. Very good fitness required. Mostly well-paved surfaces and easy to ride. The starting point of the route is right next to a parking lot.

The perfect tour when there is a risk of thunderstorms: if the worst comes to the worst, you can turn around and be back down quickly. The views were magnificent again, the architecture of the hotel buildings at the station was stunning, the restaurant was closed (as expected).
