Among the many stands we visited at the Italian Bike Festival, we must pause at the one dedicated to Livigno, which gave us a breath of fresh air during a hot bike-filled weekend. From Misano Adriatico to this mountain location chosen by cyclists of all levels for their training is just a moment, especially if you're pedaling.
Livigno is considered the kingdom of two wheels, an alpine paradise at 1,816 m altitude where every cyclist finds their ideal terrain. Here, biking is not just a sport, but a lifestyle felt everywhere, among spectacular sceneries and services specifically designed for those opting for active vacations or training camps like those of many professionals who prepare their most important races here.
For adrenaline lovers, the reference is the Mottolino Bikepark, one of the most renowned downhill centers in Europe. Its 14 tracks, divided by difficulty, offer jumps, walkways, and technical sections that test skills and courage. There are also slopestyle areas, freestyle structures, and services like rentals, specialized workshops, and even family spaces, to enjoy every descent safely and without worries.
The territory is also perfect for enduro and flow trails. The two reference poles, Carosello 3000 and Sitas, offer routes of every level, from panoramic trails winding through alpine pastures and woods to more technical and fast lines. Here, smooth descents alternate with challenging sections, with panoramas that repay every effort. Val Federia, alpine lakes, and high-altitude routes are just some of the highlights, made more accessible thanks to shuttles and ski lifts that allow you to fully enjoy the ride.
Road cycling enthusiasts find in Livigno an ideal base to tackle the great alpine passes: Stelvio, Gavia, Mortirolo, Bernina, Foscagno. Legendary climbs that have made cycling history and that, thanks to the altitude, offer natural altitude training. Not by chance, many pros choose Livigno to prepare their key season appointments, leveraging the combination of alpine nature and sporting performance.
Finally, for families and cyclists looking for relaxation, the 17 km cycle path crossing the valley offers a safe and relaxing route, with picnic areas, games, and rest spaces perfect even for the youngest.
In summary, Livigno is a unique destination: downhill, enduro, road, or simple valley rides, every route becomes an unforgettable experience, in a territory where the bike is truly king.
