Not a very exciting climb, except for the last bit before the chairlifts (you can ski as early as 650m here). Very nice views, though. The climb is much steeper from the other side, but to get there I first had to cross the summit by this side. On the descent escorted by two RAF fighter jets. They went just a bit faster, by the way.

Geen heel spannende klim, behalve het laatste stukje voor de stoeltjesliften (je kunt hier al op 650m skiën). Wel hele mooie uitzichten. De klim is van de andere kant veel steiler, maar om daar te komen moest ik eerst langs deze kant de top over. Bij de afdaling escorte van twee straaljagers van de RAF. Die gingen net iets sneller, trouwens.
