In the lower part of this still challenging trail, there's a section with a small but unrideable uphill. Even very experienced riders will need to carry the bike here. It drags on a bit, is steep, and on top of that, you have to carry the bike on your shoulders. But given the warmth in your heart from the surrounding landscape and the adrenaline rush from the previous section, it's easily manageable.

Magnificent climb, but quite steep, especially in the first few kilometers, I had the impression that it was easier after that. It's good on gravel but it's better to have a suitable cassette!

This lake supplies the three mountain villages with drinking water. This shows even more that we need to take care of our nature.
