Winter walk There was plenty of snow and it could be that the way to go up of the cliffs is not possible without it We didn't go close to the cliff just wanted to have a better overview of the valley.

It was winter and there was a lot of snow inside, so we couldn't go until the end. We use spikes to go up and down since there was a lot of ice as well, they made our hike very easy, totally recommended for this hike.
