The tracking of the km of Koomot is not precise, in total the route is 19km total. The calculated difference in altitude is precise.

It took us 7 hours of walking to finish the tour. Just over 1000 meters of altitude difference, one of which breaking through the snow.
Stop at the middle refuge.
Always easy path. Very thirsty, but we took water directly from the sources.
Spectacular landscapes that follow one another throughout the climb and descent
