Descente bien technique, pas beaucoup de flow, vue magnifique Pas mal d'épingle en cailloux et serré, passage technique tout le long, fin dans la fôret, bien naturel et caillouteuse.
Nice tech downhill, not a lot of flow but the view is stunning ! Lot's of switchbacks with rocks, tech parts all the long. End on the forest, natural singletrack and rocky !

Enjoyed the challenge. Very much a red. As per previous comments, uphill to start is a long 4x4 slog. First part of downhill has lots of off camber roots and rocks. Switchbacks later on are very tight in places and quite a few have very loose rocks. I had to walk some but that maybe due to more to my skill level than the grading. If wet the trail would be a much more difficult challenge. A good work out for the brakes, make sure your pads are in good condition before setting off.

Definitely not a blue, unless the French blues don’t correspond with the UK/USA ones; the uphill is long, put some music and just grind it out, there are a couple of great viewpoints but it’s a slog…
The DH starts east enough but it quickly turns into something that I’d want a full DH rig on, or to the point of not do-able - switch backs are tight, roots, rocks are all in abundance.
Many curse words to this blue run.

I would also certainly qualify this trail as red. If you're not used to regularly riding alpine forest trails, the many relatively tight bouldery spots will be red for you for sure. The climb is also very steep and sustained. From the viewpoint of someone who rides at beginner to moderate level, I found the blue rating to be very much conflicting with reality.
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
