Welcome back to the funnest House of Biking in the Alps.

It's time to rediscover the Bikepark, the flagship of the Livigno area's bike offer and one of the best in Italy, with 14 routes dedicated to downhill and freeride, articulated over 28km. An area that is the result of a series of strategic choices involving the whole team, made up of authentic bike enthusiasts and trail builders. Backed by twenty years of experience in the downhill and in freeride, Mottolino is a House of Biking tailor-made to satisfy the most demanding, with trails that challenge the pros and experts and routes that are also suitable for beginners.

To access there is the Bikepass, declined in various formulas, early bird, daily, multi-day and seasonal, according to needs. Those who want to update their equipment can rent all-inclusive packages, including bikes, various protections and bike passes. The starting point is the Headquarters. A stop at the rental allows you to get the best the market offers: Mtb from downhill and enduro to test yourself in the Bikepark, but also e-bikes and bikes suitable for the trails of the Livigno and Alta Rezia network and city bikes to ride in the village or along the cycle path.

Perfectly equipped, you take the gondola lift and in a few minutes you are already at an altitude of 2300 metres, ready for a day on two wheels.

Downhill and free rides

The fun areas of the Bikepark allow you to choose a range of proposals indulging experience, the need for adrenaline and the desire to challenge one's limits. For example, the Slopestyle line, dedicated to pros, boasts various features including Drop, Wave, Hip and Dirt jump, and original ramps from the Nine Knights castle, one of the most important international freeride events. Drop enthusiasts will find an area all to themselves, while those who love to take flight can try the Bikepark's Jump Area, made up of sequential jumps on clay, divided according to difficulty, or the inflatable, perfect for learning new jumps and improve technically. Instead, beginners can practice – or even experience their baptism – on the simpler slopes, such as the Take it Easy path, which starts right from the arrival of the gondola lift. As for the North Shore Area, it is an area built inside the wood, made up of wooden walkways where you can experience riding "lively" and electrifying, between step ups, step downs, spirals and parabolics.

The network of MTB routes

The vast network of paths that wind through Alta Rezia is the favorite playground for those who love to discover the area on two wheels. Starting this year, in the rental area of ​​the headquarters, Garmin GPS can be found with the itineraries already traced, perfect for organizing an independent trip.

Among the various routes, some allow you to fully enjoy the views of the Livigno valley. Already at the arrival of the cable car, on the left, there is the Enduro Natural Trail, five km of pure fun on the track, without particular obstacles such as stones and roots. At the end you can continue in the direction of Alpe Mine, along a path that is exposed in some sections, which can be used both with an enduro bike and a trail bike. The well-deserved prize is a gourmet stop at the Alpe. Through the Val Trèla, pedaling on terrains and slopes of various kinds, you reach the scenic lakes of Cancano instead, and you can relax at the Trèla malga. The path of the Tees is the longest - almost 19 km - and perhaps the most panoramic: it is accessible from several pints, and leads, in fact, to the tees, huts which in summer become stables to house the animals. You can also see them pedaling through Val Federia, combining the ride with a tasty break at the agritourism.
