      C'è un po' di tutto in questo trail, parti tecniche, parti scorrevoli, rilanci (non tutti pedalabili), radici, rocce, guadi, insomma, l'essenza dell'endurto bike!

      Beautiful but I like better the lower line which is more flowy and counter-rise, less trick river/stone crossings.

      Fantastic trail, super fun drops and techy features. A Ticino classic, highly recommend!

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
