A new trail specifically built for the practice of Trail/Enduro as an alternative to the traditional path of Melics, which is reserved for pedestrians.

The first part of the descent combines comfortable sections of flow with more technical sections of tight curves, steep sections and rock and root drops. The second section of the descent that leads us to Bossòst is a little more rocky with a localized difficulty of a rocky drop with exposure that you will have to watch out for.

Access Info

Access to this Trail is coming from Arres Village or from Pista Margalida and Bassa d'Arres

      La bajada transcurre por un bosque precioso, muy frondoso, con buenas vistas del valle en algunos puntos. Estéticamente, es una bajada top.

      El trail aprovecha en buena parte una bajada ya existente, compartida con caminantes, que pasa por unas antiguas minas. A lo largo del camino, la bajada antigua está marcada en los postes como “azul”, lo cual genera confusión si vas buscando una bajada roja.

      La bajada no tiene drops, ni nada especialmente difícil. En mi opinión, no es una bajada roja. Hay algunos tramos inclinados, pero todo muy razonable y agradable. Solo al final hay un tramo breve en el que se pasa por encima de unas rocas, que quizás sea algo más difícil para quien no tenga mucha experiencia (pero esos tramos son evitables, fáciles de pasar por el lado).

      Hasta pasar las minas, el camino transcurre por la pista antigua. A partir de las minas, hay que estar al tanto: la primera foto que subiré en la sección de fotos es un pantallazo de Trailforks, y podéis ver que el antiguo camino solo aparece como una linea de puntos discontínua. Es fácil equivocarse y seguir por esa senda, pues está más marcada (ahí empiezan unas ‘zetas’ muy marcadas). La bajada nueva sigue recto. En la segunda foto podéis ver un palo con la señal de una vagoneta negra de las minas (marcada en la foto con una flecha negra). En este punto, NO girar a la izquierda, sino seguir recto.

      Si los ‘trailbuilders’ pudieran poner una señal ahí, sería muy útil. (Hay otro punto más arriba en el que también es fácil perderse: aunque hay dos hitos o mojones, si vas rápido te los puedes pasar).

      En general, la nueva parte de la bajada está muy bien, muy agradable, en un bosque precioso. Enhorabuena a los trailbuilders, buena currada! (Si hubiera apoyos en las curvas cerradas, sería un 10...) La subida también ofrece unas vistas magníficas del valle.

      Top trail! this trail has less support in the turns, letting the bike slip a bit - lots of fun!

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
