Take a look at breath-taking alpine landscapes, whilst putting your fitness to the ultimate test and earning the reward of a never-ending awesome blue tech descent !!

Description

While graded blue, it’s definitely not one where you can switch off as it’s full of tech and very lengthy, not to mention the fact that you’ve expended so much energy on the climb. It’s a dark blue for sure.

The trail takes you through transforming landscapes, starting off with the open rocky alpine. The trail is dusty and you guessed it, rocky. You’ll wind your way past lakes, round berms and into a series of cruisy rock rolls.

Before long, you’re down in the trees where you’ll find swooping low-grade single track with plenty of rooty and rocky tech, and some rock rolls thrown in for good measure.

Right at the end is a rock garden with a blue and black option. It’s a good idea to suss out your line choice before rolling in as you’re bound to be pretty exhausted by this point.
