The route is shorter than major high-altitude circuits, but steep stone steps and changing temperatures still make good footwear and layers worthwhile.

Trailheads and road access can change, so confirm the route with a local source before departure.

Know before you go

  • Carry a warm layer for the early-morning viewpoint.
  • Use shoes with good traction on stone steps.
  • Start before sunrise only if conditions and visibility are suitable.

Confirm current conditions and requirements with a qualified local operator before departure.
