In 2024, the bike park was spruced up a bit and a large section was paved, making it ideal for children.

To my shame, I must admit that I rarely ride on gravel roads, but this route is beautiful in both directions. The surface is very good, and nothing has changed since the 2024 landslide.

That was a shame. I was here in May, and the gondola was parked in front of the bank. It was standing on stones, and it wasn't advertising a stall.
