All day long trip toward Stol from South side. Where ascent never ends. The uphill road is loooooong. The only good thing is the view and the warm sun keeps you in a good mood. On top the 360 view is absolutely fabulous, and the 4 km long descent along the Stol crest is another superlative of this mountain. The good descents are rare, but the one directly down to Kobarid tops the dh choices.
1300m of altitude difference, 10km of ascent, 13% of average slope, with 20% steepness on the very beginning of ascent just outside Zatolmin - these are some facts that make this way up to Sleme not very popular among mountain bike riders to say the least. But there are some who like it just for these facts. The way up takes some effort but when you get to the top where the highest mountain pasture of Tolmins region lies the view opens to the Julian alps on the East and West side. From here many possibilities for descent are available. The most popular is to go down to Mederje and via Pretovč straight down to Zatolmin. The single track is always empty and it allows a very high speed descent with some rocky sections just to keep the thing interesting.
