The most beautiful single-trail descent for miles around. The gradient runs north to south. There are magnificent views of the valleys on both sides, which are breathtakingly beautiful in sunshine. The descent is challenging (S2), but not too difficult – except for the last bend, which I'm afraid to attempt.
