Gran percorso da enduro-downhill, dove si svolgono gare nazionali ed internazionali. Estremamente panoramico, se percorso a velocità bassa è percorribile con soddisfazione anche dagli "umani".
Molti curvoni parabolici, alcuni salti - tutti evitabili - ed un paio di traversi nel bosco delicati a causa di radici e pietroni.

Access Info

Dalla cima del Fraiteve si scende lungo la cresta S, a circa 1/3 della quale parte il trail.
