With the opening of the bike lifts, on June 13th, Livigno kicks off the Bike season 2020: starting next Saturday, in addition to the numerous trails accessible directly from the town center, all the bike lovers will be able to reach 3000 meters thanks to the lifts and ride down the trails of Mottolino, Carosello and Sitas, to discover all the natural wonders of Little Tibet on their bikes.
To inaugurate the season in the best way, the Bike Pass Free promotion is back again this year: from 13 June to 26 June, by booking a stay of at least 3 nights in a hotel or 7 nights in an apartment in one of the partner structures, you will receive a free Bike Pass valid for the entire duration of the stay, to access all the bike areas for free with your bike.
The promotion, however, is not only dedicated to bikers, but also makes the stay perfect for those who do not like the bike but do not want to give up an holiday together with those who are a true bike lover. The Bike Pass Free can in fact be replaced by an entrance to the Slide & Fun area of Aquagranda Active You, a free entrance to Larix Park and a booklet of 1/3 ascents with the lifts of Mottolino, Carosello and Sitas to enjoy the charm of the peaks also without the two wheels*.
To make the stay of bikers even more pleasant and comfortable, in Livigno there are the Bike Friendly structures: for those who dream of a holiday entirely on two wheels there are indeed the Bike Hotels and the Bike Apartaments, with themed accommodation facilities that offer services to fit for bikers, such as workshops equipped for the maintenance of their bikes, safe storage area and daily laundry service.
MOTTOLINO FUN MOUNTAIN
Bike park gravity par excellence, Mottolino is one of the first bike parks in Europe, an undisputed paradise for downhill and freeride lovers. Built in 2005 on the occasion of the MTB World Championships and since then constantly implemented, it offers 14 trails suitable for everyone divided into difficulty levels: 6 are the most technical trails, reserved for expert and pro riders, while another 8, the medium-easy ones, also include flowtrails and are suitable for beginners. Immersed in the woods, with its suspended bridges and wooden walkways, there is the North Shore area, while the Slopestyle Line and Drops Area are dedicated to more experienced bikers and allow you to test your jumping skills. For those who want to test themselves even if they are beginners or want to challenge themselves by exceeding their limits, there is the inflatable bag, to learn new techniques and aerial evolutions.

Do not miss the Bomb Trail, inaugurated in summer 2019: a 2.7 km route and 407 m in altitude for more experienced bikers. Suitable for everyone, young and old, experts or beginners, is the Tutti Frutti Epic Tour, a 45 km route that can be covered in a day with cross-country, all-mountain or enduro bikes, designed to give an exciting and complete tour without ever finding yourself on the same trail, which allows you to cross some of the most suggestive locations in Livigno and some of the most historic trails.
