Easy walk up, even accessible for non sportive people. But requires a good balance for the walk down, and good shoes. Great for nice pictures and nice open landscape. A must do!

The climb to the viewing platform is relatively easy, the walk around the crater is harder especially on a very windy day but well worth it. This part of the climb requires appropriate footwear in particular and a head for heights
