NOTE ON THE LEVEL OF DIFFICULTY '

Before facing a hike, it is important to check the level of difficulty and compare their state of preparedness and physical health. Although establish a scale of difficulty with objective criteria is virtually impossible because everyone perceives fatigue differently based on their experience and their skills, tabs indicates a difficulty level according to scale nationally recognized which takes into account parameters defined as the difference in height, the type of route and the distance.

T - Tourist – easy: Excursion undemanding, to everyone. And’ not along a route on streets or wide paths always obvious and reported that requires no sense of direction. Never touches high altitudes and the gradients are usually less than 500 meters. Requires a normal physical condition to walk.

And – Hiking: It requires a certain training for the length of the path and / or height differences to be overcome which are normally higher than 500m. And’ a route that winds along paths of all kinds almost always reported or with traces. Does not present normally exposed sections or shorter passages or crossings on steep slopes protected with barriers or cables. It needs a good workout at walk and footwear, clothing and appropriate equipment.
