Livigno is one of the largest bike parks in the test field and boasts a large selection of trails. Unfortunately, the park is a long way off the beaten track. It's a four-hour drive from Munich alone. Good: The tax haven of Livigno usually spoils you with plenty of sunshine (south side of the Alps). The park offers varied and long descents and is therefore attractive for all skill levels. In addition to more natural single trails, the flow country trail, the downhill run (old school) and a beginners' trail (a little bland), there is the flow trail - the centrepiece of the park. It is a whole three kilometres long and undulates along the slope on crushed sand in open terrain. Bends, berms and smaller jumps can be ridden at high speed and are great fun. However, some of the jumps need a bit of maintenance. There is a drop battery and a well-built table line in the centre. Ideal conditions for slowly feeling your way round. Later, the trail leads into the forest. If you want to sweeten your visit to the park with single trails, Livigno also has plenty of choice away from the park runs.
