Description

From the Schaffurgli you descend on a mix of steep and technical and flow trails down to the road leading to Schlappin.

You'll join the enduro riders at around 2000m, but before that the trails are very seldom ridden.

Difficulty

Difficult

Mostly stable trail tread with some variability featuring larger and more unavoidable obstacles that may include, but not be limited to: bigger stones, roots, steps, and narrow curves. Compared to lower intermediate, technical difficulty is more advanced and grades of slopes are steeper. Ideal for upper intermediate riders.

Medium Exposure

The trail contains some obstacles such as outcroppings and rock which could cause injury.

Remoteness

Away from help but easily accessed.
