Expensive, but worth it. - It will take three hours by car to get there. Despite the two gondola lifts you will have to walk and climb further steps. Not insurmountable but always good to know. Once you get to the top it is definitely worth it. Lunch was perfect and hearty. My guide, Pip, was injured the day before in the ankle but still accompanied me to the summit. The day remains quite expensive (400€ solo) but I do not regret having done it.

It takes three hours... - It takes 3 hours by car to get there and necessarily 3 hours to return. Then there is some uphill walking not always obvious despite the two gondolas we used to reach the summit. But once at the top, it was definitely worth it. It is nevertheless a fairly expensive activity especially solo. I paid about 400€ for this day.
