Bicycles for families

At first it doesn't ring true. How can a mountain community - surrounded by high passes that challenge the great riders - be the right place for normal folks who just want to get a little exercise in the country without overdoing it? Here's how: thanks to a long valley floor, Livigno can be an eye-opener for families interested in biking.Alongside Spoel creek, a bike path unfolds for six kilometers, almost perfectly flat.This route can be enjoyed by adults and kids alike - it's easy and away from the traffic.
So relax and pedal gently onward; you'll find comfortable rest areas along the way for rests, picnics and snacks.

THE MOUNTAIN BIKE SCHOOL
Want to learn to use the derailleur properly, or how to deal with a steep downhill stretch on a dirt road? You can, during lessons with the instructors at the Scuola Italiana Mountain Bike Livigno. They will also suggest the right routes for your level of expertise and training, and tell you about them. Especially in your first days here, they are very important in helping you get to know the marked trails. Instructors are present every Sunday, Monday, Wednesday and Thursday from 6 to 7:30 pm at the Punto Informazioni Centro in via Bondi.

GET TO THE TOP - NO SWEAT
One thing that opens the door to a lot of new excursions is the chance to transport your bike skyward in the gondola lifts of Mottolino and Carosello 3000, arriving up top quickly and effortlessly.
For example, from the meeting point at the top of the Mottolino, you can come down into the Trepalle conch and then along the Trela Valley alternating flat stretches and slight climbs.
Or, maybe even more fun, you can ride the mountains' crest down from Mottolino or Carosello 3000 toward Lake Livigno where you meet the valley bike path.
