b) Hike up to the top
So, let's talk about hiking. If you're feeling particularly brave (or perhaps a little too confident), you can hike your way up to the summit. Just be prepared for a workout that'll have your calves screaming for Swiss chocolate by the end of it. But hey, you'll earn those calories!
We chose the lazy way to go up! :)
