Practical notes first

What the guides tell you before the scenery does.

Late spring to early autumn

Best for mountain tracks. In the cold season, access depends on snow and track conditions.

Know the road

Dimats is reached by an unpaved mountain track; a regular car is not suitable for the last stretch.
