Zig Zag branches right off Secret Mile shortly after entering the forest from Chalin Valog piste, just past the fallen log crossing. The trail delivers a varied and engaging experience: off-camber sections keep you honest, a short technical S-shaped switchback demands precise bike handling, followed by two smooth flow turns that let you breathe and carry speed. Occasional short rock gardens add technical spice throughout. The trail rejoins Chalin Valog piste at the point where the gondola cabin passes overhead, providing a natural continuation onto Chalin and Picnica. Solid technical skills required, but not extreme — confident intermediate riders will enjoy it.
