Set in the scenic Alps right by the Swiss border, Livigno is one of the most iconic spots on Europe’s biking map. Mountain bikers here get two modern bike parks: Mottolino — more downhill-focused, with plenty of high-difficulty trails — and Carosello 3000 — more enduro/trail, with long flow trails. The colour grading doesn’t always match the real difficulty.
It’s best to plan the route via Germany and Austria. The 10-day vignette costs €12.80 in 2026; bought online through the ASFINAG shop, it can be valid straight away. Three roads lead to Livigno: from the north through the toll, single-lane Munt La Schera tunnel; from the west via Bormio and the Foscagno Pass; from the south via the Engadin.
Trails
For a few years now, Livigno has been a fixed point in our holiday plans. Breathtaking scenery, the feel of the high mountains, a duty-free zone, and above all, an incredible density of trails and bike parks per square metre.
