Grab your bike

Racing-bikers can pit themselves against Stelvio, Gavia, or Mortirolo Passes or Foscagno, while off-road enthusiasts have 600 km of digitalized mountain trails to choose from. Cyclists are welcome in Livigno and its hotels, which are happy to provide assistance, equipment and plans as well as off ering a mini-course on cycling downhill safely and cycling uphill with less effort. The Tour of the Twelve Valleys is recommended for fitter cyclists only, involving six hours pedalling through breathtaking scenery in the Swiss National Park and Stelvio National Park, twelve Alpine valleys (Livigno, Alpisella, Fraele, Gallo, Boffalora, Fontana, Mora, Pettini, Corta, Trela, Pila, Tort) 61 km and seven passes, from Passo della Val Mora (1930 m) to Passo Boffalora (2300 m).

Or the even tougher Tour of two Worlds, seven hours at higher altitudes in Italy and Switzerland, 70 km with climbs so steep that you'll have to walk your bike in some places. A passion for cycling unites the best bike hotels in the area (Hotel Bellaval in Scuol, Hotel Central in Nauders, Hotel Stelvio in Sta. Maria and Hotel Paré in Livigno), on the Three Nations Tour over several days through Italy, Switzerland and Austria, your bags magically appearing each evening in your new hotel room.
