Interesting scenic circular route starting from Cruz Grande. Actually, it is a hike. Since the path is only marked with cairns and the last 20 meters to the summit require the use of hands, the ascent must be considered a mountain route. This route is unmarked!

Author’s recommendation
At the starting point of the route and during the first 20 minutes of ascent, it is often very windy! Bring a windbreaker!

Safety information
The last meters to the summit require caution.Roadbook
Our circular route begins at the two parking areas at Cruz Grande. We follow a road for about 100m, then turn left and uphill (path poorly visible). It goes up a rough path to a clearly visible small building. We leave this on the right. Soon the path improves. Once we reach a scenic spot, turn sharply left and uphill. Now the path is no longer so clearly visible. You have to orient yourself by the cairns. Below a small rock barrier, go right. Do not miss the turn-off to the summit. The last meters to the highest point require the use of hands. When descending, you must first retrace the last meters. The path down is not so clear (pay attention to cairns and junctions). Once you reach a forest road, it mostly goes flat to the right back to the parking lot.
