    The ascent is steep and requires a strategic use of power hiking, with sections of steep gradients that will test endurance and effort management. The path is characterized by numerous natural rock steps, typical of Ticino's alpine trails, making the climb even more technical. The descent, equally challenging, alternates between fast and smooth sections and more technical stretches, ideal for refining coordination, footing, and speed management. A perfect trail for those looking to improve uphill strength and downhill control.
