Descent towards Draix

Highlight • Trail

After the long uphill, the first DH passage begins here. First narrow and woody, then partly more open over the legendary black volcanic rock. In places, the trail narrowly passes large ledges and edges.

It seems simple but it's just an impression, it slides quite a bit when it's very dry on the slopes 🤫

Fancy a little adventure? The signposted MTB route leads right through the stream. When we were there, the rocks were not slippery and the water was only ankle-deep. So it's quite doable
