Boccardo is a loop but it also connects the lower trails of the park with the upper trails. If you take the clockwise option as a climb, it gets very steep. It's a challenge to clear simply by it steepness and duration. As a descent, you'll need to mind your brakes as you loose a lot elevation in a pretty straight lines. The other half of the loop is an easier climb and a bit more fun as a descent.
