Live the adrenaline: the most extreme descent in the Italian Alps

Vive la adrenalina: el descenso más extremo en los Alpes italianos

The sound of the wind hitting your ears, adrenaline rushing through your body, the imposing colors of the mountain daring you to cross it. You and your mountain bike facing the thin line between fear and the need to do it.

This is what it feels like to ride the dizzying trails of the Brenta Massif (Brenta Dolomiti), in the province of Trento, Italy, an area recognized for its spectacular Via Ferrata routes and its unique opportunities to practice downhill cycling.

One of the most impressive descents ever made in this area was done by Christoph Thoresen, who described the experience as one of the most intense of his life on a bicycle. However, he warns that the route is much more dangerous than the video shows.

A route only for the bravest

Before taking on this challenge, Thoresen recommends exploring the terrain on foot to study each trail and prepare for the most technical sections. This extreme descent, captured entirely with a first-person drone, offers a unique and realistic perspective, making you feel as if you were on the bike riding the narrow and steep paths of the Southern Limestone Alps.

If you seek extreme thrills and are passionate about mountain biking, this descent in the Italian Alps is a must-see reference. Only for experts, with a spectacular finish and an adrenaline level that lasts until the very last second.
