The event program is based on a well-tested format. It starts in the late afternoon of Friday July 21 with the Sunset Ride, a riding group with the last light of the day on a 12 km course that includes the Coast to Coast, Lonely Planet and Roller Coaster trails, one of the most famous and exciting flow trails in Europe. At the end of the route we meet in the refuge to celebrate the beginning of the weekend with a barbecue and live music.
Saturday 22nd July is entirely dedicated to the Tutti Frutti Challenge, a very amusing bike-game set up as a great treasure hunt on the route created by the mtb legend Hans Rey and inside the town of Livigno. The initiative is in teams of 2 or 3 people and combines strategy, orientation and exploration. Participants must get involved by finding checkpoints, taking pictures of unlikely characters, solving puzzles, passing special tests that will be revealed the same morning... while accumulating points through the publication of stories on Instagram.
At the end of the initiative, awards in a folkloric key to the Alegra après-bike, to then go in the direction of the Marcos Pub to enjoy an evening of live music in the company of Beastie Noise.
Great Days 2023 adrenaline-pumping activity is the top to bottom King of 3000 scheduled for Sunday 23 July. We all start together "bike on the ground" from the suggestive Blesaccia peak and then embark on a fun descent that has precisely 1000 meters in altitude. The final descent is preceded by qualifying runs and prizes are provided for the women's and men's categories. The initiative is carried out in collaboration with The King Mtb, a community of enthusiasts that aims to promote the passion for mountain biking.
Also on Sunday, there is the possibility of taking part in a more relaxed Bike Tour which guides the participants along the ancient peasant paths of Livigno, from the path of the Tee (traditional huts) to the very green pastures of Federia, a suggestive side valley which has remained almost untouched by the work of man.
After the morning spent riding their bikes, the participants in the various initiatives gather at the Baitel del Plascianet, a small refuge immersed in the forest for the Festa nel Bosco. Here you can share your experiences and greet old and new friends while enjoying an inevitable polenta cooked in a cauldron accompanied by an alpine grill and a few good glasses of wine.
The event is organized by Carosello 3000 in partnership with Livigno and Sitas, The King of Mtb and 360 Valtellina Bike communities, Cosmic Sport, Maciag Offroad and MET Helmets, a Valtellina company world leader in the design and production of helmets and protective devices dedicated to cycling.
Participation in the Great Days initiatives is free, as long as you have a Bikepass to access the Mountain (Bikepass Carosello 3000 or Bikepass Livigno). However, it is necessary to register for the desired initiatives directly on this page.
For those who use the mountain bike for fun and love being in company in the midst of nature, the Great Days are an event not to be missed!
