Located within the Vallter 2000 ski station, the road to the summit is a chairlift access trail. Great trail for experienced wheelers. Avoid driving in this area if unpaved mountain roads aren't your strong point. 4x4 required. Stay away if you're scared of heights. The track to the summit includes several narrow and steep sections (up to 25%). The road to the summit is passable only in summers. It’s brutally tough with roughly sections, on very rocky, slippery path / ski piste at occasionally impossible steepness. The road follows the unpaved ski-lift service road. With such a high summit altitude the road can be closed anytime due to snowfalls.
