IN LIVIGNO THE FUNNY FAT FESTIVAL

Three days dedicated to fat wheels, the new frontier of MTB, ideal for cycling also in winter on the snow. The program includes bike tests, guided tours, bikepark access, dinner in the hut and, of course, lot of fun.

Some like it fat. Is the case to say it when it comes to MTB and in particular to bike wheels. Fat wheels, in fact, are particularly large, suitable to go on snow and on sand. So Livigno has collaborated in creating an event, the Funny Fat Festival, which aims to enterain and make known to
fans, all that you can do with these bikes, especially in the outlook of winter rides on snow.


The Funny Fat Festival takes place from 26th to 28th September and is an event organized in collaboration with Miss Grape, the biggest group of fat bike fans in all Europe.
