Mixed paved & unpaved

Surface classes from OpenStreetMap, matched to the line. Ways without a surface tag are classed by their road type, so this is an estimate.

Path difficulty, as tagged in OpenStreetMap

  • T1 hiking: 97 m
  • T2 mountain hiking: 550 m

No difficulty tag on 1.1 km of path or track: unknown, not easy.

The SAC hiking scale mappers give each path. It is not a check of exposure, the weather or snow on the day.
