Amazement is tiring and today we can't stop marveling because a huge chunk of
what's maybe the most beautiful single track of Switzerland lies still ahead of
us.
Hi, do you want some wind?
Good idea, that's it, let's go to the mat.
We took the first cable car up from Zermatt. This spared us a good
deal of uphill and it allowed us to begin our ride with a really special
section.
Here's the first part of the ride.
The first part of the hobby trail, give it a go.
Now what?
At the foot of the mighty Matoval, there is a trail that seems to rise right from
a mountain biker's fantasy novel.
Our excursion to Middle Earth was way too short because after arriving in the
valley it's getting challenging but as it turned out every drop of sweat is a
good investment.
At such an altitude you'd never expect a trail that is so fluid and fun to
ride. It's a mix of rocky and earthy sections and above all there is the
supermodel of moments.
Finally, the trail is getting steeper. The first switchpacks await us in the
downhill to an ancient mountain hotel.
We take a small break and then we head for the final descent to Zermatt.
So is this really the most beautiful trail of Switzerland? Quite possible.
It's definitely a trail. How mountain bikers picture it while daydreaming.
