It’s a hair-raising drive up very steep, windy narrow roads - but so worth it! Beautiful far reaching views from the top and such fresh, clear alpine air. We saw a huge herd of goats amble by with t…Full review by Julia L

Hi! If you park next to the pylons, the walk to the start of the summit is about 15 mins (add twenty for photo taking though as it's just so beautiful), then once you make the climb up the forest steps, it's around another 15-20 depending on how fit you are. I have to stop a few times! Then, once you break free of the trees and see the rocky scree, take a right and it's five minutes of scrabbling to the actual summit where the sign and register are. It's absolutely stunning.
