You must not be afraid of heights on the tour, you should be sure-footed and wear appropriate footwear. It is a nice round, varied and the suspension bridge is quite an experience. The way back across the street is then relaxing for the legs.

The first part of this tour is easy, but there is quite a climb after the bridge. Downhill the paths are bad and difficult to find. Part of the road is warm. You can also walk to Sedella and ask in a café there for someone to take you back for a small amount.
