ISAURIA WAY TRAILS ACCORDING TO SWISS DIFFICULTY RATING
SAC Scale SWW Sign Definition
T1 Yellow: A hiking trail that provides good news. Wherever possible, we have made all open areas safe with fixed ropes, railings, etc. Furthermore, the risk of falling has been largely eliminated.
T2: White-red-white: A trail created by continuous walking. Dangerous open areas have been made safer. It contains partially uneven terrain. With all precautions taken, the risk of falling should not be repeated.
T3: The path is always clear and visible. More open areas have been secured. You can use your hands to maintain your balance. There are some open areas that pose a risk of falling. There are pathless sections that cross rubble or rocks.
T4: White-blue-white: Intermediate pathless routes are available. In some cases, it is necessary to use other routes. There are areas of dangerous open terrain. The route includes steep grassy slopes, rocky outcrops, simple glacier fields, and small glacier crossings (with very little risk of crevasses).
T5 includes trailless routes. It is followed by easy, single-track versions. It contains dangerous, open, challenging terrain and steep cliffs. It includes exposed glaciers and steep gaps with a risk of falling.
T6 routes are unmarked, generally trailless routes. They involve Grade II climbing. The images in the photos are returned in the open. Examples of the route's terrain include dangerous rubble fields, rock cavities, and steeper sections of snow-free glaciers. These routes carry a high risk of falling.
The difficulty levels of the Isauria Way are listed below, based on Switzerland's difficulty ratings. In determining the difficulty levels of the Isauria Way, 80%, if not 100%, of these criteria were applied in some sections. Therefore, the difficulty levels of the Isauria Way are listed below. A route with a T4 difficulty rating may have glacier crevasses. However, since there are no glacial crevices on the Isauria Trail, we might consider a T4 rating. However, if T4 is the most suitable option when considering all route alignments, T4 is used in these presentations.
First, the difficulty levels of these routes are given, starting from Alanya and heading towards Ermenek. In the second part of this study, the same routes, starting from Ermenek and heading towards Alanya, are re-evaluated according to their difficulty levels. It is hoped that such a route, while difficult on the way up, can be made easier on the way back.
