The journey begins along trails winding through lush forests of pines and fir trees, with the scent of vegetation filling the air and the sounds of wildlife accompanying you every step of the way.

As you climb towards the summit, you will walk on the very lands that, in the past, witnessed significant historical events. The traces of ancient communication routes, the remains of old constructions, and the memories of a bygone time will give you the opportunity to reflect on how this land has been inhabited and lived over the centuries.
