The local's trick

Do the loop counterclockwise: take the wind in your face on the way out, while you still have legs.

What to bring

  • 2 liters of water per person
  • Hiking shoes for the fort
  • Mineral salts and bars
  • Cycling gloves and glasses

If it's windy or bad weather

  • With winds exceeding 30 km/h, avoid the exposed northern section and shorten the loop.
  • In the rain, the fort trail becomes slippery: postpone it.
