Turn right off the fireroad and enter the forest singletrack. Care must be taken as there is a electric wire which must be passed under. The vegetation on the singletrack after the electric wire becomes tight and care must be taken when descending onto the fireroad once again. After crossing the fireroad you enter a fast singletrack that heads into the forest. A small root drop is found in the middle before the singletrack turns into doubletrack again. Near the end there is a stream crossing. The bridge marks the end of the trail. From there you can get onto the road and ride down into Chatel village.

Doing the trail uphill is best left for hikers but can be done on a mountainbike or ebike if the rider is willing to do a small hike a bike in the middle of the trail.
