Dear Fit & Fun Walkers,
Walk Description
|
|
WALK OVERVIEW
Description of walk: This is a relatively easy walk, we'll be on packed trails at first following a road (closed in the winter) then to a trail through some forest that will open up to the area of Solalex, with spectacular surrounding mountains
These photos were when there was more snow in the area.
Meeting Time: 10:15
Starting and Finishing Point: Cergement Parking lot at the head of the trail
Length of walk: 7km
Estimated walking time: 2 hrs plus breaks
Ascent/Descent: 219m/ 219m
Min/Max Elevation: 1262m / 1469m
Difficulty of walk: easy / medium
Equipment: Walking sticks, good shoes as we may be on packed snow in some places.
Drink and a snack. There is a restaurant where we can stop for a coffee etc in Solalex.
Dogs: welcome .
Extra notes :
I haven't been in the area for a few weeks, so it will be a guess as to the conditions of the trail. But I thought this might be one of the last chances to walk in the mountains when there is still some snow.
