Because if you can walk easily in Thruso Valley, you can't do it in Juta, because here you have to explore the roads on dirt footpaths. Cycling from Saberce Pass is a real challenge for mountain bike lovers, as it requires special physical preparation and avoiding descents on technically difficult roads.
