The upper section of Dolmen features several large boulder fields filled with off-camber rock obstacles. Picking the right line through this boulder field requires scoping your line and some serious courage.

After some entertaining chunk and high-speed tech, the next big feature is a narrower and steeper rock garden that twists through a steep series of switchbacks, plummeting down the hillside via a veritable waterfall of rock. While this section doesn't have any single major drop or feature, stringing together the entire slippery slide is no small feat.

After a brief respite, the final major trail feature plummets down a near-vertical set of switchbacks set into a steep, treeless hillside. It doesn't seem like human beings should be able to ride a bike down a trail so treacherous… and yet it has been done—many times. In fact, Dolmen has served as a stage for the Enduro World Series stop here in Finale Ligure. Imagine the best mountain bikers in the world flying through these burly features at mach-chicken, and somehow managing to ride down this final feature at race pace, and your own pace will suddenly feel quite meager!
