A beautiful hike, very challenging due to its elevation gain and length. Bring a GPS + IGN map with compass, and about 3 liters of water. Hike completed in September 2025, measurements taken with a GPS and Garmin watch: distance 22 km, duration 5h08, elevation gain +720m, elevation gain -720m. This hike is recommended for very experienced and well-equipped hikers.

Be careful, the route isn't great. At point 4, between points 4 and 5, there's no longer a path and it's extremely steep, so avoid with children. It's extremely slippery! The return journey after the waterfall is all on the road. Take a path to the left that allows you to safely follow the road.

Hike made on July 25. Climb to the super waterfall. Then crossing the river without using the suspension bridge, in too bad condition. Going down the path stops before the campsite we find ourselves stuck by pig pens. It is necessary to climb a barrier where the arrow indicates it (orange-pink outline) then then to go up towards the right and to cross another portal. We then find ourselves on a path that bypasses the enclosures and allows us to rejoin the route. End of the journey made by the road, pretty and not very busy.
