It is part of the All Mountain/Enduro discipline and has a relatively technical profile with natural obstacles made up of rocks, roots, slabs, logs, natural ground bumps, etc. The route has a medium degree of difficulty throughout its length.
The starting point of the route is located at the first curve to the left on the road that descends from the resort, approximately 60 meters after the waste storage area, more precisely, at the end of the car park on the right side of the road.
The entrance to the trail is marked with a wooden marker. Afterwards, the route is distinguished by the marking strip that combines the colors red and white.
The route goes through the hilly area until the exit to the highway from where it descends, until the intersection with the road to the gondola. From there you can make your way back to the boarding station.
