Description of difficulty levels 

The scale below refers to classic hiking, divided into 3 difficulty levels according to the CAI classification. 

NOTE

In addition to the difficulty rating, it is always essential to take into account the duration, length and elevation gain of the route.

A type E hike, while presenting no technical difficulties, can become challenging when the combination of duration, length and elevation gain doesn't match your training and physical fitness. A sudden change in weather can also drastically increase difficulty and discomfort. For this reason, it is always essential to carry the appropriate equipment and gear.
