Maigmo circuit
A circuit up to a rocky summit. After a leisurely start there’s a tough ascent to the first col. and on over the rocky and slightly exposed summit. Except for the summit the route is mostly on tracks and well defined paths with a short distance on quiet roads. Absolutely stunning views.

Hello,
I am interesting in doing this trail this summer and I still have some questions.
Is the circuit well indicated?
The level of the trail is said to be difficult. But is, besides good hiking shoes and well trained persons, some extra material required? Or is only the last part some scrambling? We do not want to be surprised during the hike!
If you have other recommondations about the trail, please let me know.
Thanks in advance for your response.
Kind regards,
Caroline Mossay
