An 8-seat gondola runs from the Daolasa base to Val Mastellina and takes you and your bike up about 550 m. It serves four gravity lines. Black Snake is for experts only, while Golden Eagle, Wild Grizzly and White Wolf ride more gently and mix berms, jumps, north shore features and rock gardens.

Lower down, the valley floor has a free Four Cross track, and natural enduro trails drop from the top station all the way back to the valley.

The park suits confident downhill and enduro riders. A bike train along the valley stops right at the Daolasa base, so it is easy to reach without a car.

The trails change as you drop. Up high they cross open pastures with gentler gradients. Lower down they get steeper and run through forest, with roots, rocks and off-camber turns. Most graded runs are red or black, so the park suits confident enduro and downhill riders.

Near the Bosco Express there is a training area with a dual slalom, a pump track and a balance-bike course for small children. A local MTB school runs lessons and guided rides, and e-bikes can be rented in the village. The lift ticket can also include La Rosière, across the border in France.

There are about 14 trails graded blue, red and black, from a long, flowing signature line and beginner-friendly runs to old-school downhill tracks and natural singletrack. The Livigno daily bikepass also covers lifts in the Carosello 3000 and Sitas areas, which opens up plenty of enduro and all-mountain riding across the valley.

The base station has a rental centre with downhill, enduro and e-bikes plus protective gear, and bike schools are based there too. There is also a kids’ fun area. Free parking, duty-free shops, lakes and bike-friendly hotels make Livigno an easy choice for a riding holiday.

Immergiti in un viaggio esperienziale per conoscere i segreti di flora e fauna e tornare indietro nel tempo alla riscoperta di castelli, rovine e borghi medievali. Rebelside è un progetto ciclistico con la missione principale di riunire altri spiriti affini, per scoprire insieme i luoghi più selvaggi d’Abruzzo e non solo. Esperienze in bikepacking, eventi e tour per ristabilire attraverso il ciclismo un rapporto autentico e profondo con la natura.

Giulia De Panfilis

Sono nata e cresciuta in Abruzzo, regione verde d’Europa, a stretto contatto con una natura selvaggia e incontaminata. Mi sono sempre ritenuta un’anima libera e crescendo ho sviluppato una grande passione per l’outdoor, per le piante e per gli insetti.
La prima volta che sono salita su una mountain bike mi sono resa conto che non ne avrei più fatto a meno. Attraverso essa posso immergermi nella natura, viaggiare sulle route da me immaginate e pianificate. Rebel side nasce da qui, con l’intento di dare la possibilità a tutti coloro che lo desiderano di riscoprire la propria anima più selvaggia e ribelle, ristabilendo un rapporto autentico con la natura. Un sogno da realizzare attraverso le due ruote.

Simona Flacco

Amo pedalare a perdifiato! Partire a volte senza una meta precisa e perdermi dietro casa.
Adoro quella sensazione dì libertà e spensieratezza, la fatica, le lunghe chiacchierate con me stessa, lo stupore che ti coglie all’improvviso, la sfida con me stessa per andare sempre un filo oltre! A ritmo mio! Cercando dì immortalare sfumature e sensazioni che certi paesaggi suscitano. La bici mi ha fatto scoprire un’altra me che mi piace da impazzire, un nuovo modo dì viaggiare e dì guardare il mondo!
