Summer's Hotting Up

Well summer is well and truly here. Horah! While it’s baking hot back in Blighty, here in Livigno the sun is shining, the snow has melted and the trails are filling up. It’s been a fantastic start to the summer mountain biking season with the Nine Knights festival showcasing their amazing skills on Mottolino with visitors getting to ride with some of the world’s best freeride mountain bikers. Plus all the excitement on the mountain spilled into the town for the the après-ride with beers and aperol spritzers being served on the street into the small hours. Good job the gondola ride and the fresh air helps clear your head the morning after!

We’ve also seen Hans Rey on the trails riding with us regularly and capturing his days on the mountains on his Instagram feed. We love riding with him, especially when you think you can keep up only to realise he’s going easy on you as he wheelies, does a 180 and rides off into the distance leaving you for dust.

And this week we’ve seen the opening of a new EAS23 trail on Mottolino. A nice flowing trail which for experienced riders allows you to ride fast with plenty of jumps ,or if you want to warm your legs up, provides a smooth decent with an average 6% gradient so great for those starting out. Check out this sneak preview. 

So if you fancy joining us for the key season of August, where the bars and trails are in full swing, get in touch as we have some spaces left during the peak season – with no additional or overinflated charge for travelling during the holiday period. Our prices are the same throughout the season.
