Definitely challenging tour. Simple, long climb on a private road.
The descent is 40% spectacular, the remaining 60% is beyond my capabilities. There are too many sections to do on foot also due to the rains of recent days which have made the surface slippery.
To be done once, in the summer, calmly.

What can I say, a great descent, you don't waste 1 meter of altitude outside the trails, a carpet of needles, a bit of a split but the exaggerated 99% cycleability🔝🔝
