The Ambroz Valley is a place of contrasts, with mountains that exceed 2,000 meters and areas of meadow and pasture at only 500 meters of altitude, with an abundance of water due to the gorges and rivers that descend quickly from the mountains.
This difference in height gives rise to a significant gap in a relatively short space interval, which results in that the network of trails that cross these mountains have excellent downhill sections.
