Notes and recommendations

It is also possible and probably more convenient to traverse the saddle from the west (ascending the more difficult “via-ferrata” sections instead of descending; I did not make photos of those, sorry for that), though most hikers seem to traverse it the other way round.

I recommened wearing crampons or spikes on your boots when there is a layer of snow on the trail though the ascent is not overly technical. I would also recommend wearing a helmet, especially when there are many people on the trail on a given day.
