The hike is already borderline in May in the heat.
In addition, the paths go over several boulder fields and overall accuracy is required in many areas.
But still beautiful!!!

An introductory hike around the Sierra de Bèrnia with fantastic views of the coast. We went a little way up to the summit, but only until the via ferrata started (you can do it, but don't have to!). The scramble through the tunnel – the famous hole through the ridge – was spectacular. Great tour! 🔝

The ACTUAL hiking time was about 5 hours !!!!!!
The STARTING POINT of this tour was possibly sponsored by the restaurant owner so that hikers could park and stop at his place.
Therefore there is an extra 1 KM hike (one way) to the …
