ALPINE ENERGY, ITALIAN STYLE: SUMMER RISES TO NEW HEIGHTS IN LIVIGNO

Written by Livigno | May 21, 2025 7:14:38 AM

Livigno is not just a top winter destination. In summer, this valley at 1,816 meters above sea level transforms into a hub of pure energy, Italian elegance, and authentic movement. It’s a place that inspires those who love to challenge themselves, seek out refined experiences, and move through nature to recharge. In a word: summer in Livigno is powerful, chic, and moving.         

“Powerful” is the energy that bursts forth along adrenaline-filled trails, legendary climbs, and high-altitude challenges.

“Chic” is Livigno’s authentic style, defined by Italian taste, attention to detail, and an atmosphere that is both elegant and genuine.
“Moving” goes beyond sport — it’s emotion, immersion in nature, and a full regeneration of body and mind.             

In Livigno, the powerful spirit comes to life through the three souls of cycling: downhill and freeride, flow trails and enduro, and road biking.

At Mottolino Bikepark, adrenaline takes shape across more than 14 trails designed for three levels of riders – beginner, expert, and pro. It all starts at the multifunctional headquarters, where bikes are picked up, gear is prepared, and the new cable car takes you up to 2,400 meters.
From there, a network of technical trails, jumps, North Shore features, and the legendary 2005 World Cup track awaits those who love to push their limits. For the boldest riders, there’s also the Jump Area and Slopestyle Area, perfect for performing spectacular tricks in total safety.

On the opposite side of the valley, Carosello 3000 and Sitas offer a smoother, more scenic, and immersive riding experience that’s accessible to all. The signature experience is the Tutti Frutti Epic Tour – 45 km of uninterrupted trails – a journey through alpine silence, flow, and riding pleasure. The trails are designed for all skill levels and deliver the pure feeling of “bike to freedom.”

For those who prefer asphalt, Livigno is also a paradise for road biking. Here, cyclists ride along the same legendary roads that have shaped the history of the sport — iconic mountain passes, epic turns, and demanding climbs. The altitude adds to the challenge, enhancing every ride with the benefits of natural altitude training: less oxygen, more performance.

From June 20 to 22, Livigno will host ABOVE | The Bike Experience, an immersive event that officially kicks off the summer bike season in Italy. Test rides with top brands, technical clinics, social rides, talks, and live music will turn the resort into the cycling capital at 1,816 meters above sea level.

Summer in Livigno is also a journey of taste. A gourmet destination where excellence meets tradition, and Italian style shapes every detail. From fine dining restaurants to contemporary bistros, Livigno’s culinary scene tells a story of alpine ingredients, refined techniques, and a touch of innovation. Here, dining is always a pleasure — in thoughtfully designed spaces where the atmosphere is an essential part of the experience.

Alongside gourmet dining, there are authentic mountain dairies – Federia, Alpe Mine, and Alpe Vago – where food is deeply connected to the land, the rhythms of nature, and traditional alpine life. Here, you can enjoy lunch with a view, surrounded by grazing animals and raw milk cheeses, in places that tell the story of the true mountain lifestyle, enriched by Italian taste and hospitality. And for those looking to experience Livigno from a new perspective, summer will bring unique and immersive adventures. You’ll have the chance to explore nature and the territory through unconventional activities, becoming a true protagonist of the journey and discovering genuine, heartfelt emotions.

With over 1,500 km of marked trails, Livigno is a true paradise for trekking lovers. Each path is an invitation to slow down, breathe, and reconnect with the essence of the mountains. You can walk along the valley floor or take on more challenging climbs to peaks above 3,000 meters. Every hike offers panoramic views, encounters with wildlife, and moments of pure silence. Destinations like Monte delle Rezze or Monte Vago are ideal for those seeking elevation gain, technical routes, and a deep sense of accomplishment. Trekking in Livigno is more than just physical activity: it's training for the body, freedom for the mind, and nourishment for the soul. A deep and authentic experience, taken step by step.

Another exciting addition awaits visitors in Livigno this summer: thanks to the new experience card, discovering the destination will be easier than ever. It grants access to exclusive experiences and unique benefits, making every stay even more special.

Summer in Livigno is the perfect choice for those seeking a revitalizing and intense experience. Here, you ride, run, and hike. You push yourself a little further — with your mind, your body, and your desire to embrace the mountains to the fullest.        It’s a place where Alpine energy meets Italian style, creating a truly unique and unforgettable experience.
