Above the western shore of Lago d'Idro is a spectacular ridge trail over Monte Breda. Opinions are divided on its rideability - but for trail guide Mathias Marschner, it's a clear-cut case: "Super!"

If you google the Monte Breda Trail, the comments range from "probably the best trail in the world" to "largely unrideable and extremely exposed". The truth lies somewhere in between. Or to put it another way: both are true, because the trail has different faces.

At the beginning, it is extremely narrow and exposed - driving errors would have absolutely fatal consequences here. Strong characters humbly push the most dangerous passages here, even if they could ride them.

After an intermittent firework display of technically varied entertainment, the grand finale is perhaps the flowiest you can imagine. A few hundred metres above the glistening lake, you glide along almost without a rattle.
