Absolutely fantastic trail, incredible views, and so much fun to ride. A lot of work on the rocky descents but so enjoyable!

The second part of the trail, when coming down from the ridge, is completely overgrown with plants (spikey ones too). Don't go down there unless you walk and bring a machete. Because I could make progress, I got caught by nightfall and struggled to find the trail again. Bring a headlight and a fully charged cellphone.
I think there is an alternative trail going down to the left just after the spectacular views of the valley and the snowy peaks. Try that one and record please so that this trail can be upgraded.

One of the best trails in the World! Do not miss this one! There’s an alternate start, a short hike-a-bike to ridge line descent that is definitely worth it if you have the energy.
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
