The route was beautifully chosen. Lots of variation and spectacular views. Vincent picked a gorgeous lunch spot for us, by the river. The river crossing was special. Intermediate level is the correct rating for this hike. Thf less experienced members of our group were slightly challenged but nevertheless enjoyed the day.

We hadden een prachtige dag! Christophe was een fantastische gids die ons wist gerust te stellen tijdens de toch-niet-zo-gemakkelijke via ferrata. Het was een heel fijn avontuur, met mooie foto's ter herinnering.
