      Discesa fattibile, ma scavata molto dall'acqua e dissestata

      Meglio in discesa. Discesa rock garden con tornanti tutta nel bosco. Mai troppo difficile.

      Mit der Bahn bis nach Bellavista gefahren und danach diesen Trail hinunter gefahren. Gute Länge, viele befestigte Steine bis mittl. Grösse. Alles problemlos fahrbar
