If you are asking yourself why you should try Fat biking in Livigno, the answer is simple: this year you can try trails that have been designed just for “fat wheels”, thanks to a pedestrian road that extends over more than 20 m, alongside the whole town.
That is to say that in Livigno, it is the time of Fat biking - not just a trend but also a real way of experiencing the mountain by bike, even in the snow.
What are Fat bikes? Even if the expression seems to be more cute than technical, it actually refers to a special kind of bike – a super mountain bike with larger than usual wheels and rims (where the so-called “fat” name comes from). Straight from the world of American action sport, these quirky shaped bikes with bigger wheels will let you get to where you couldn’t normally go with a mountain bike, meaning you can even cycle on snow.
There are many good reasons why Fat biking is an unmissable experience and it is a wager which Livigno has bet on to offer fun and passion to all audiences:
