Livigno is getting fatter – on the bike!

Livigno (ITA), February 16th 2015 – During the winter season mountain bikers normally are tucked away in their warm homes eagerly waiting for the snow to melt. But this is now a thing of the past – at least in the  mountain bike resort of Livigno. The rapidly growing trend of fat biking has been embraced in the popular holiday resort. Livigno has introduced 20 kilometers / 13 miles of trails, specifically designed for this discipline of mountain biking.
Now, visitors can enjoy time in the saddle all year round: http://youtu.be/DLtbO4G5sWs

It’s THE trend in mountain biking these days. Ever more frequently we find ourselves exposed to the extraordinary wide tires, ideal for crusing across the snow and ripping  up fresh powder. Few remain who would disagree that fat biking is a minor niche in  our beloved sport. The broad, low pressure tires are ideal for crusing over soft  surfaces – making a ride in the snow a whole new experience. This low consequence sport is a brilliant way for beginners and experience riders to spice up their mountain  bike adventures. 
Livigno, known as one of the most progressive bike resorts in Europe, jumped on the fat bike train quite early and has now reacted to the high consumer demand. Every  year more bikers travel to the Italian resort for a winter shred – it only takes one try  before you are hooked. Livigno now offers 20km / 13mi of new trails for fat biking during wintertime. In fact, there is no better place to enjoy the winter season on two wheels. 
If you are a novice to fat biking then a trip to Livigno is certainly worth experiencing. 
The well-priced fat bike rental from bikes from just 15 Euro. If you would prefer to 
head out into the winter wonderland with a guide, offers including a fat bike start at 50 Euro. Once a week you can even hop on a guided fat bike night ride. An 
unforgettable experience for any passionate rider.
