The terrain is a dynamic mix, featuring rocky trails that demand precise handling and smooth, flowing paths that allow for speed. You'll encounter steep ascents testing your stamina and descents that will get your adrenaline pumping. Prepare for a ride of approximately 17 kilometers, with an accumulated elevation gain of around 300 meters. The maximum elevation reached is about 384 meters, offering stunning panoramic views.
