We arrived at 16:00 and the weather wasn't good. Our off road route was in doubt.

  Catching the cable car the next morning to 1960m helped us to get ahead of the weather.

  The view at 1960m. In the summer there's plenty of keen hikers, and raised eyebrows when you exit the cable car with your bicycle and say you're going to do a stretch of GR55.
