MTB TALKS: THE CONFERENCE ON THE EVOLUTION OF MTB
MTB is serious business. During the Dolomiti Paganella Bike Days there will be the time to confront and discuss with those who have made mountain biking a profession and an opportunity for the development of the territory with “MTB Talks”, the first conference on the evolution of MTB in Italy. The conference will be held in the Molveno congress center on Friday morning and will see the interventions of the leading national and international experts in the sector: Dominik Linser - Bike Republic Soelden; Graeme McLean - MTB Scotland; Simone Lanciotti - MTB Cult; Christian Marsch - Norrøna sales manager; Gravity Logic, famous for designing and building some of the most iconic trails in the world and Luca D'Angelo and Ezio Cattani of Dolomiti Paganella Bike.
#SPIRITSOFMTB…
With these premises Dolomiti Paganella Bike Days has become one of the most talked about events of the 2017 season, thanks to the numerous meetings and activities that will be organized on the shores of the splendid Molveno lake and on the Paganella trails. They range from the iconic "Bear Trail", an exciting enduro experience for savvy bikers, to Gravity Experiences to learn or refine their downhill riding techniques both in the Fai Zone Bike Park and in the Molveno Zone, up to courses to improve downhill riding technique "Only4Girls" dedicated exclusively to women / girls of any level. Particular attention this year was reserved for the riders of the future. In fact, there are many mini courses designed as an introduction to MTB driving techniques for the little ones within the Pump Track and Skills Area of the Bike Area.
All tours and experiences are supervised by the Dolomiti Paganella Bike Academy guides and are all strictly free! In addition, the Bike Pass to access all 6 active lifts in the area will be discounted by 30%.
Cherry on the cake? A unique experience for bikers with a good technical level to experience the sunrise on the Cima Paganella, at 2125 meters above sea level and try with the lights that only early morning can offer the best single trails in the bike area.
NEW TRAILS
Not only that, during the Dolomiti Paganella Bike Day the new “Big Hero” and “Blade Runner” trails will be presented in the Molveno Zone. The Big Hero is the easiest trail in the whole area. "For us this track represented a very difficult challenge: we wanted to create an easy, fun, but not trivial trail, which would allow the user to improve with each lap, having fun running it dozens of times even once progressed" commented Ezio Cattanei , Project Manager and trail builder. The Blade Runner is instead a flow trail with a higher technical rate that allows on the one hand to refine one's riding techniques even more, always maximizing the fun, and on the other hand to bring the bikers back to the Molveno cableway.
