What to expect
The hike starts in forest, where shade helps initially, then emerges onto exposed ridge sections with expanding views. You'll pass several small hermitages perched against rock walls—these ancient refuges break up the ascent and offer shelter. The path gains elevation gradually rather than steeply, and the guide stops frequently at natural vantage points. Expect loose stone underfoot in places and scrambling across rock outcrops near the summit. The descent reverses the route, so the walk out equals the walk back.
