The Carosello Mountain Park together with the Sitas Bike Area, with the former opening on June 26th and the latter on July 1st, offers a totally different riding experience, with trails built to meet the needs of all mountain, cross country, and enduro riders. There are 50 kilometers of trails divided between newly built trails (flow and enduro) and existing hiking trails.
