Classico sentiero naturale, che contiene una buona varietà di situazioni: si inizia con una parte ripida ma guidabile su terra, con tornanti impegnativi. Poi la discesa spiana e diventa veloce, e risale un attimo; qui si può prendere la variante di destra meno impegnativa, oppure salire a sinistra sul culmine della collina panoramica. Si riprende poi con una sezione molto rocciosa e tecnica, dove si può anche ammirare una vista spettacolare sulla Valganna, per poi concludersi nuovamente con una parte flow e veloce.

Classic natural trail, which contains a good variety of situations: it starts with a steep but driveable part on soil, with some challenging bends. Then the descent flats and becomes fast, and goes even uphill for a moment; here you can take the less demanding right variant, or climb the culmination of the panoramic hill on the left. It then resumes with a very rocky and technical section, where you can also admire some beautiful views of Valganna, and then it ends again with a flowing and fast part.
