Une expérience hors du temps, une merveille de la nature, l'ascension est assez rude...mais vraiment une vue spectaculaire au sommet...

* This signpost is very strategically located. * It is located near the turnoff to the mountain hut above the lake, the descent to the 'blue fire' and the ridge trail to sunrise. * There are also toilets at the turnoff to the left, the last for a long time :-)
