Season
Year-round per the agency page. Short but genuinely steep: 1 km one way, 240 m gain, ~45 min up, 1.5 h round trip. Wear sturdy footwear on the irregular tread; take the chairlift instead in bad conditions.
Hazards
- ▲Irregular, pretty steep terrain despite the short distance — turned ankles are the realistic injury
- ▲Slippery tread when wet
