Virtual tour of the passes
A fun, rolling trail with varied scenery, through forests and glades.
Description
It's a 1.8 km ride to the start of the trail. This easy, rolling itinerary alternates between woodland and clearings and makes the ideal Enduro trail for novices. Like all Enduro trails In the resort of La Norma, it starts at the top of the Melezet chairlift. This allows quick access for mountain bikers wishing to do the same itinerary again, or to try something more challenging.
Why the name? Because the itinerary includes the Avalanche Bend which in turn is named after an avalanche that once reached this spot. This is an active sector in winter...
