Livigno riding
Livigno offers rugged mountains, alpine climbs and some rough terrain. While you can test your skills under-biking in the mountains, you can also enjoy smooth flow trails and gravel paths close to the town.
We recommend minimum 50mm tyres with good puncture resistance for improved comfort for Livigno gravel riding.
It is also highly important to be aware of weather in the mountains. Conditions can change quickly, and warm weather gear is important to have packed for climbing ascents and descending especially if planning a multi-hour journey.
