Starting point: Public Parking in Badia
Ending point: Public Parking in Badia
Length: 14km
Vertical: 750m
Speed: Very runnable.

Route:

We started south-west from the parking lot along the river on the forest road. After a few hundred meters, a trail turns of south from the forest road and starts climbing steeply uphill. This uphill takes up most of the elevation along the route before reaching the Colt Alt ski lift station.

We continue running a large loop around the plateau connecting between the different different ski lifts and huts. Eventually we start heading down following next to the bike trail.

Once reaching the bottom of the valley, we connect to the river trail and follow it back north-westwards back towards the car.
