  Gear:
  Trekking shoes with good grip are an absolute minimum! There is a risk of slipping on the trail which can result in serious injury. Should you slip near the crest, it is a 160m fall straight down, so if you do not wear appropriate clothes, we will send you home.

  Take at least a bottle of water with you, as well as some sandwiches. We plan to stop at a chalet to eat - seats will not be reserved.

  The price includes the train rides and a drink at the chalet.
