Difficulty

Physical effort, technical demands, trail conditions, ascent and duration — this says nothing about exposure.

Moderate

Fear of heights

Exposure only: drop-offs, narrow paths on steep slopes, traverses, bridges and ladders. Assessed independently of the difficulty grade.

4/5 · Rather unsuitable4/5 – Rather unsuitable
Why this rating?

The official route explicitly crosses the Ossona suspension bridge and later follows a path secured with chains along the western slope of the Borgne. These features can be difficult with fear of heights.
