Difficulty

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

Hard

Fear of heights

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

5/5 · Unsuitable5/5 – Unsuitable
Why this rating?

The official description says the trail follows steep paths high above the valley and explicitly states that good stability and absence of vertigo are indispensable, especially at Col Termin. The descent to Lac de Louvie and Fionnay is also very steep.
