Yes, that's true. The answer is I don't know, the blurb says around 1km in length and 100m drop, so ~10% average gradient - which of course doesn't mean that there is no flat or uphill if there are also very steep sections.
One thing that was interesting from my holiday in Morgins was that there was a very significant HR lag - I'd hit my highest BPM on the fire road cruising to the cafe after finishing the downhill run.
In the section I posted above I'd been climbing, then turned immediately into the trail, rather than jumped off a ski-lift, so HR was already high.
