from www.haldi-Uri.ch The Urbikers association has been operating and maintaining the 4km long downhill course from the Haldi sun terrace since 2010. It features jumps and banked turns in many places. The course features over 500m of elevation gain, including steep descents! For the fun and athletic challenge, you'll need appropriate equipment such as knee, elbow, and upper body protection, a full-face helmet, and, of course, a bike in good condition! Since the course is on steep terrain and has many obstacles such as rocks and roots, we recommend this descent only for experienced bikers who are accustomed to such conditions and have full control of their bike. The operator and the cable car assume no liability for accidents! The course will be closed in the event of rain! The course is closed from November 1st to March 31st due to winter closures. The course is closed from November 1st to March 31st. +++ Normal rainfall (1 day) = 2 dry days (route closed)++++++ Intensive rainfall (more than 1 day) = 2-3 dry days (route closed)+++.

I wouldn't describe this trail as a "single trail", it's actually really wide. The difficulty comes from the stones and the holes.

A bit difficult to ride (I pushed the bike down about 200m)

No light is needed as the tunnel exit can be seen as soon as you enter. 😊 It was real pioneers who dug the tunnel; without machines it was really hard work.

Partly steep, very rough trail, often blocked, fairly high steps, slightly slippery in the forest (much of it not rideable for me). Easier in the lower part, here S2 (up to S1).
