TTFs on TrailDrop, Rock Face, Rock Garden
Sentiero che si sviluppa sotto un bosco di faggi, caratterizzato da fondo molto drenante e dalla presenza costante di pietre smosse, foglie e rami secchi.
In discesa, dall'Alpe Cova, la traccia è inizialmente molto larga e perde rapidamente quota tra stretti tornantini. Gli occhi più attenti noteranno una via più scorrevole sulla destra.
Superata questa prima parte, in MTB inizia il divertimento per gli amanti dei rock garden; poi il sentiero torna ad essere più "scorrevole" tra qualche tornante da fare in nose press fino a congiungersi con la strada sterrata/cementata per la cappella del Sacro Cuore o con il sentiero di collegamento con la traversata bassa
Pur essendo molto ripida anche lei, in MTB è preferibile salire all'Alpe Cova da Pasturo per poi scendere su questo sentiero.
Prestare moltissima attenzione agli escursionisti a piedi, che soprattutto nel fine settimana (in qualsiasi stagione) percorrono questa via per raggiungere il rifugio Antonietta, le baite dell'Alpe Cova, il Bivacco Riva-Gerani ai Comolli, la vetta della Grigna Settentrionale e il Rifugio Brioschi
