Description of the competition terrain |
|
| The typical «jurassic» terrain is situated between 1’000 and 1’300 meters above sea level and is generally alternating semi-open and pine forest. The foresst are characterized – for most of it – by rolling hills, a diffuse trail network and a partially rocky ground with occasional smaller crevasses. The predominant objects are mainly rocky features and terrain relief. For this reason the run-ability is relatively restricted in some parts of the forest. |
