Path difficulty, as tagged in OpenStreetMap
- T1 hiking: 11.0 km
No difficulty tag on 2.0 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.
On roads with traffic: 119 m in 1 stretch. Roads of class tertiary or bigger in OpenStreetMap; crossings and stretches under 100 m are not counted.
