Height difference – The two cable car sections involve a climb totalling about 2200 metres:

Elevation: the sum of all the ascents that enables one to reach the total positive altitude, usually called the d +)

It has an accumulated gradient of 9,777 metres, with a positive gradient of 4,920 metres and a negative gradient of 4,867 metres.

10:00 walk, 454 meters of elevation gain, 1,884 meters of elevation gain.

N.B. The calculated height difference is over estimated, it's actually closer to 1000 metres.

And don’t forget there is some altitude to add to the challenge (around 1,500 above sea).

About 3 hours with a distance of 6 km (200m of positive and 500m of negative altitude difference).

The total climbing for the day would be around 1600m.

Even if the cumulative gain seems “acceptable”, the steep passages can significantly amplify the perception of the gain, especially for beginners.
