Despite the effort of the climb, the view is worth the commitment, also for the sense of peace that the place offers. Not recommended for those unsure of their balance, because the steps are steep and uneven, it is better to be careful by equipping yourself with suitable footwear and poles. Not recommended in case of heavy rain/snow.

Getting there is complicated, there is a lot of portage but the descent is beautiful and very fun

In summer it is easy to reach by car and, from the car park, it offers a series of interesting excursions of various lengths (and difficulty, while remaining substantially simple) in a context that is usually not excessively crowded.

Those who intend to climb up to this town by bike must take into account about 300 m. of altitude difference with almost always double-digit gradients, on a road that, if it rains, becomes very delicate to travel downhill. Having clarified this, the town is delightful and deserves a visit, both for the care with which many of the old huts have been restored, and for the many "embellishments" that peep out along the alleys, in the entrance halls or from the windows. It is recommended to follow the itinerary as per the track, then proceeding, bike at your side, through the narrow streets, stopping to read the many stories of ordinary people who have lived here. Unfortunately, the only bar in the town at this time (end of March) was closed... the only negative point!
