    The king of the trails of the Valli del Natisone: a long natural path that runs for about 12 kilometers from the summit of Monte Matajur down to the valley near the hamlet of Sorzento after about 1,450 m of negative elevation change.

    It has been voted by readers of an important industry website as one of the best "natural" descents in all of Europe. The route is very varied and starts with a rocky and steep section that puts the endurance of the rider and their bike to the test. After passing the meadows before the Glevizza pass, the very flowy central section continues with some technical downhill passages. The final part is characterized, after the slight climb to S. Canziano pass, by some rock gardens and the finish trail (Sorzy) with some easy and fun small jumps. The terrain is largely clay and consequently, in wet conditions, it becomes very challenging and is not recommended for inexperienced riders. For updates on the route, please refer to the managers https://natisonebikearena.it/sentieri/.
