Technical trail on fairly alpine terrain, with various rooty and rocky sections. The main difficulty is the hundreds of wooden water bars that have been added for drainage and steps. These water bars are often right in the middle of the many tight switchbacks, making these more difficult. To ride this whole trail without getting off the bike requires excellent Euro hop/ Nose turn (hinterrad versetzen) skills. Many spots are fun to practice several times.

On sunny weekends when the gondola is running this trail is full of slow hikers.
