A simple trail over stream beds and alpine pastures – a varied singletrack with impressive views and natural terrain.
Via the "Access Motta" path you reach the valley station of the Motta chairlift. From here starts the scenic high path. This connection between the Scharmoin middle station and the ascent to the pass saves valuable altitude meters – and the best part: the otherwise long section on the paved road is reduced. Ideal for all who prefer to ride on trails rather than asphalt.
