Mountain biking at its best. As you meander through this classic alpine terrain, battered by harsh alpine winters, you will be rewarded with fantastic views of truly inspiring mountains. The terrain can be demanding and technical in places, and in areas like this it is not uncommon to have to carry the bike at times.

Sometimes blocked, sometimes icy, sometimes muddy, but still a dream run with this breathtaking backdrop. If you are in the region and don't ski here, you've missed out.

From the Italian side, you mostly have to carry the bike or use rails. Short sections are rideable.
The descent into Val Ferret is mostly good, somewhere between S1 and S2. In some places, I had to carry/push the bike because it was too heavy. It took me about 25-30 minutes from the pass to Plan de la Chaux.
