Described by some as a relentless slog, I prefer the following. A steep ascent following a trail through old growth forest to the alpine followed by a moderate ridge to the summit at 1939 m with nice views of Pelion and Ossa. Expect snow above 1300 m and an ice axe may be useful along the ridge due to snow cover. This will be an all weater hike and will not be cancelled due to rain.
