The King of Trails of Natisone Bike Arena
A long 12 km natural trail from the edge of Mt. Matajur to the valley bottom near Sorzento's village after 1.450 mt of negative descent.
Voted by readers of a most-known bike website as one of the best trails in whole Europe. The trail is very eclectic and begins with a steepy and rocky part that push to the limit both bike and rider's strenght. After the fields before Glevizza's pass we jump into the middle part reaaaally flow with some technical passages and counterslopes. The final part after the short uphill after S. Canziano's pass leads into two nice rockgardens and a small bike-park area with easy jumps and drops before the St. Nicolò Church.
The terrain is clayey so not recommended in wet condition.
The Matadown Race will be held on 09.08.2020 - check infos on Matadown page in Facebook.
