The first part inside a beautiful wood with up and downs...as soon as you reach the descent be extremely careful because is really exposed. The trail is technically not so difficult, but loose rocks and steep sections on stairs with super exposed parts require max attention. Amazing views on the Stelvio Pass road and Bormio. The last part is more flowy and less exposed. Doable but not recommended with E-bikes.

      It’s rideable, with exception of some steep and exposed parts, some with chains Smile
