Enduro: La Vipérine
Great variety in this series of 5 Enduro trails in the resort of La Norma. All the departure points are quickly reached thanks to the gondola lift, so you can easily make repeat runs, or try them all as they each have their own specific features.
Description
A beautiful descent, never steep. Access to the start is quick and easy thanks to the Mélezet gondola, which drops you off 800m from the trailhead. The route is sometimes steep, but there are short stretches and no very technical sections, but constant attention and good control of speed are useful. Most of the route takes place under a larch forest, a canopy that lets the light through, a very pleasant atmosphere.
Why the name: Is it an adder-based alcohol or a violet plant? Find out on the trail.
