One of the most famous and fulfilling trails of the Natisone Bike Arena. A very mixed trail with different difficulties and terrains. It starts with some steepy tight turns, then after a short pathway jumps into a short but not so easy rockgarden to be dealt carefully. After a flat fast part starts the most flow part full of turns and counterslopes. Then a steepy canyon and a short flat path leads into the "GamePark", a serie of banked turns followed by a reeeeally fast part that brings to the last part of the trail. - We suggest STRICLY to speed down as you approach the village -
On the most technical and difficult passages we also made a Tofu (Chicken) line for the beginners. On these lines is possible to ride (but carefully) also on wet conditions even if, in this situation, is suitable only to advanced riders.
