Molas de Castellona and Moro from Col de Vicari

A fantastic circuit in surreal scenery – a mix of improbable rocky spires and black pine woodland with two molas – rocky tops – to surmount if energy and competence allow.

The grade of this walk is S/C/Scr, which means
S – Strenuous: More than 600 metres ascent and/or more than 15km in length with steep, loose or heavily vegetated sections.
C – More than half the route on rough ground.
Scr – Scrambling: This implies the need for handholds to ascend steep rock pitches with a sense of exposure to vertigo and where a slip could lead to a serious accident.
