A spot we wanted to visit despite me being terrified of heights! Views are spectacular at the top and worth the short hike I'de be worried if it was wet as it would be very slippery. No good for people with poor mobility. If you can brave cyborg.to the top. The view and photos are categorically worth it. If you have a drone, this is an immense place to capture great footage and shots!.

Beautiful views of Bovilla lake, nice hikes on the mountain, great landscapes. Doing a hike may be a bit challenging if it is a very hot day, even though the mountain breeze is nice. A bit crowded with hikers and therefore some trash here and there but absolutely worth a visit.

The view is incredible, you should wear comfortable clothes and bring water. It is better to do it with a guide or hire a tour. I recommend it. At the end there is a restaurant where you can eat and buy water and beer.
