Son caminatas de nivel fácil a moderado. Aunque incluyen el ascenso de escalinatas de piedra originales, el recorrido se realiza a un ritmo muy amigable y pausado. Además, el clima templado y la menor altitud del valle (2,800 m) hacen que la caminata sea sumamente placentera, fresca y reconfortante para todos los visitantes.
