Buena ruta para visitar Chorro Grande y hacer un circuito. Camino fácil hasta Chorro Grande. Desde allí hasta la parta alta de la cascada se complica el camino y no está muy bien señalizado. En la parte alta hay una buena poza para darse un baño. Desde la cumbre el regreso es muy sencillo.

Ruta bien señalizada, un poco más difícil de seguir cuando hay nieve. El esfuerzo es medio y se puede hacer en 4 horas perfectamente (sin nieve). Atención, la senda Schmid pasa por la pista de esquí y en invierno no se puede cruzar. tuvimos que subir hasta el telesilla de nuevo. El resto perfecto.

Muy buena ruta. Grandes vistas. La hemos seguido con nieve y se tarda más de lo planeado por el hielo. Sobre todo ralentiza en la subida a 7 picos.
