Itinerary description

Beautiful snowshoeing day from Bakish to Faqra and finally to Mzaar cross following "la ligne des crêtes". This is one of the most beautiful hikes in all seasons except in summer when it's too hot. The winter ascent is physically demanding with some steep hills. Sceneries are stunning all around. It's always windy and cold at the summit. Have warm clothes and gloves and don't forget that the descent is physically demanding as well. Stay safe and enjoy!
