Who is the DAHU
The Dahu is a mythical creature of the Alpine region. It is similar to a chamois, characterized by its asymmetrical legs: the ones on the right side are longer than those on the left (or vice versa), allowing it to move more easily on steep mountain slopes. Because of this unique feature, the Dahu is said to be forced to circle the mountain always in the same direction: either clockwise or counterclockwise.This remarkable animal embodies the challenge that every rider will face: steep climbs, wild nature and a constant forward motion around the Alpine range.
