What to expect
The walk winds through meadows and rocky paths with steep sections and significant elevation gain. Your guide navigates terrain that ranges from easy to demanding depending on the route chosen; the 8-hour option covers more ground and higher altitude. Expect to stop frequently whilst your guide points out geographical features, explains the area's strategic importance during the Great War, and identifies plants and birds. The views intensify as you approach the base of the three peaks, where the scale becomes apparent only in person.

Arrange your own transport to the trailhead (5–50 euros per person via public or private options). You'll need moderate-to-good cardiovascular fitness and sturdy hiking boots. Not suitable if pregnant, recovering from spinal injury, or managing serious heart conditions. Service animals are welcome.
