More technical alternative to La Ruggetta.
It features plenty of natural steep and bouldery lines.

Many tight rocky switchbacks for a physical experience, perfect for a pretty skilled rider that enjoys trialistic sections in a unique-dense forest environment.

      Top section sort of boring (fast / straight). Gets more interesting lower down. Nice finale „coast rocky tech flow“, couple of tight steep switchbacks. Similar, but a bit slower than the two trails to the west side of the cuco hill

      Old pathway for pedestrians. Definitely need some good skilled rider to take all switchbacks.

      Made a wrong turn onto this trail and should have turned around. I like tech, but not like this. Hard pass for future rides.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
