"Feel the Alps" E-MTB tour around Livigno
Yes, you could also do this mega tour on a normal bike, but not all the way. Even with an e-MTB, you need a high level of riding ability, especially on the steep, technical uphills. Here are the details of Hans Rey's royal tour, which only makes sense on an e-mountainbike:
Tour dates
Distance 77.3 km
Uphill 2393 hm
Demand
Driving technique high
Condition high
Battery 2 x 500 Wh

Info Livigno
The precinct
Livigno was one of the first areas in the Alps to consistently focus on mountain bike tourism. The first trails on the Mottolino were built back in 2004. But the area also - or especially - offers touring cyclists perhaps the most versatile infrastructure in the entire Alpine region. Rideable crossings in all directions make the alpine experience in the region so complex: over the Trela Pass and Lago di Cancarno into the picturesque Val Mora in one direction; or over the Forcola di Livigno and Bernina Pass into the Engadine. And these are just two of the many possibilities.
Bike parks
The Mottolino bike park is one of the oldest parks in the world. With 13 trails, it is primarily home to downhillers and freeriders. On the other side of the valley, the relatively newly developed Carosello attracts visitors with a network of real flow trails. The Tutti Frutti Epic circuit by Hans Rey and Diddie Schneider takes almost a whole day (www.carosello3000.com).
Duty free
Thanks to its secluded location at 1816 metres above sea level, Livigno has always enjoyed duty-free status - a shopping paradise for savers. And: if you're smart, you can roll into town with an empty petrol tank. Because petrol is also unbeatably cheap here.
