      Classic aletch trail. Multiple line selection with good dirt and grippy rocks. Great trail to interconnect different parts of the Arena.

      May have trail of the Aletsch Arena. Rocky, techy, many line choices, some flow and super varied. No tight turns or exposure, just watch out for those pointy rocks.

      Rocky alpine trail. Not too difficult and you can find some good flow too.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
