The slopes are within the 250-300 meters and the length of the route is included in three hours. It is a little long walks requiring a sports shoe, not necessarily the lightweight boot or boot.
EASY/MEDIUM: The route takes place on forest roads, dirt roads or easy trails always well marked. The slopes are within the 250-300 meters and the length of the route is included in 3-5 hours. It is a little long walks that require hiking shoe or boot.

Average/CHALLENGING: the itinerary exceeds three hours, is complex for the difference of up to 500 meters or for the length of walk up to 6 hours, takes place on the trail with some challenging ascent or descent but surmountable without support of mountaineering equipment. The land can be disconnected or missing signals.

You must know how to move with skill even in dangerous terrain: steep scree, steep slopes or dense Bush, tall and unreferenced, rock steps, lack of sources. The difficulty of the terrain and the distance from reference points require a total autonomy.
