    Bridge, Drop, Rock Garden

It's a bite-sized singletrack loop that packs a punch. Features a gnarly rock garden with a steep, technical pitch right in the thick of it. Short and sweet, but once you find your rhythm, it's super fun and flowy. Nice for quick laps or linking up with other trails for a longer ride.

Access Info

The trail is easy to find—head into the village of Alte and follow the signs for "Fontes" and "Trilho Ribeira d'Alte." Access the trail by crossing a small bridge.
