Itinerary description

Very rocky and not very well maintained. You need to climb rocks and use hands many times. It can be really slippery in a wet day. Some ups and downs. Four swing bridges to cross. It goes under the woods with no views at all until the very end where you get a nice direct view of the glacier from a platform with a picnic table and some benches.
Toilet at the car park.
