Hello
How much time does it take to go from to Kallergi refuge to Melindaou ?
thanks

Hello MiYa and welcome to this forum,
any time given to you would be most likely wrong because walking time depends on numerous (also personal) factors.
You have to make up your own calculation using the values below:
- Distance: 8 km
- Height meters up/down: 750/250 m
Best regards

Hi MiYa,

minimum is about 3 h, as you will certainly need 1 h to get to Poria, 20 min to the place where the path leaves the road (if you take the E4), and then 1.5 h to get to the summit. This is only valid if you do not carry too much weight and if you are a good walker.

Best wishes
Simon

Hi MiYa

The information Simon has given is a good value. I would say:
Kallergi - Poria 45 min (3,5 km)
Poria - start of ascend 15min (1 km)
summit 2h (3km)

Last may, I've needed a little bit more than 3 hours including some pauses up to the summit of Melindaou. I had a backpack of approx. 15kg with me. The time of pauses has taken all together 1 hour. And that was necessary, because the last 3 km are very steep (attached picture). And you have to look around, there are very nice views.

green = heigth / blue = speed
