The trail into the Resa Valley first takes you over a grassy ridge before dropping into a dense deciduous forest with plenty of flowing berms. With alternating easy and moderate technical sections.

The trail is quite wide at the beginning and a little bit boring. I would not ride it again. Definitely not worth the money for the cable car.

The trail has been overhauled and is improved a lot compared since my last ride in 2020. It is worth to give a try. But yes some corners are suprising flat at the end and the last section, where a forest road was in 2020 is now narrowed to kind of a single trail. Would I ride it a second time? probably not, there are much better hike trails around... more fun, more panorama, better time.

Overall a nice trail. Some of the corners aren't shaped very well. Very sharp without any chance to lean inward as they are completely flat so you have to break close to zero. Trail seems as if it can't deside if wants to be a flow trail or not. Be careful in some of the corners.
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
