A beautiful variety of paths and landscapes, with a few slopes accessible to all. Although it had rained heavily in the previous days, the trails were easy to navigate, with a few exceptions where we had to avoid muddy areas by going through the woods. This outing took place in winter, but it must also be very pleasant in other seasons.
