This rural mountain area provides ideal terrain for the activity, featuring a controlled and safe course that allows visitors to enjoy the natural surroundings without overcrowding. The descent takes place in an open space surrounded by typical mountain vegetation, where the wind carries the scent of pine trees and moist earth.

The continuous motion creates a mix of excitement and fun in a natural environment.
