A trail that is mostly a climb towards Mt Olimpos. You might find maybe 2 kms that are flat or a shallow descent. Good idea not to go in summer unless you can keep up with 35 degrees. I started with 17 degrees and ended with 34 on the way down. The return is easy. Another matter, last place to buy water is Foini and that is a bit far from the summit. But you will go through the Chantaras waterfall. Shops were closed due to COVID so I reloaded at the waterfall. Enjoy the ride.

I’d rather rename it as ‘Pitiful waste of altitude’. Sorry. Views are great though. It’s alternating s0 and s1 with zero singletrack or technical sections. Probably good for gravel though.
