This 4 day self-guided tour starts and ends in Livigno. Detailed routes are provided and bikers are free to head off when they like and stop off en route where they like before arriving at that day's destination, where they will find their luggage waiting for them.
There are two different routes for different levels, though please be aware that both require a certain amount of prior off road experience and a good level of physical fitness:
Route A is the longer, more challenging of the two, with around 7,300 m height difference over 230 km, and offers more technical descents suited to very experienced mountain bikers only.
Route B is slightly more easy going, though with 5,000 m height difference over 175 km, you are sure to get a good workout!
As the start and end point each day is the same, feel free to mix routes, if you want to take it easy one day and challenge yourself the next you are free to do so.
Four nights' accomodation are included, if you don't feel like heading off straight away when you arrive back in Livigno you can add on one or more nights to this package.
