Se trata de un sendero que comunica el Camino Viejo de Segovia con el refugio de Peñalara y que vuelve a la Carretera de la República, que es camino principal para todas las rutas de la Fuenfria. Es un singletrack estrecho pero muy divertido con subidas y bajadas y con mucho flow, aunque la tierra suelta te puede dar algún susto.
