We rate this tour as a 3/5. This tour is recommended for intermediate-level hikers who are comfortable with steep and uneven terrain. While you’ll only hike for two days, the trail is steep and you will need to carry your pack. The final ascent to the summit is on a via ferrata course, which is a protected climbing section where you’ll be attached to ropes. This trek is not recommended for people with a fear of heights.
