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:
Livigno, the top location for mountain biking, is waiting for you in the Valtellina with every kind of customised service available for people who want to get acquainted with this activity: fat bike rental for everyone, as well as a shovel, avalanche beacon and probe for people who are looking for the maximum safety during challenging excursions.
This year the Mottolino Bike Park is reinventing the conception of mountain biking by offering a winter version of its best trails and a series of original ideas:
The Mottolino Bike Park is the king of fun for mountain biking in Livigno during the summer, but also in the winter now too: snow is the natural element of fat ikes, so you no longer have any excuse. Organise your sport holiday and hit the most thrilling trails in the Valtellina.

"Very convenient for the slopes and with pleasant public areas and great swimming pool/spa/sauna, this hotel was a great base for our skiing weekend. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff and the room was spacious and clean. Stand-out breakfast, with plenty of variety of quality fare to choose from."
"The hotel service at Albergo Spol is nothing but amazing. Very professional, super friendly staff. Amazing breakfast and especially dinner (just wow - they can they cook!). Always a surprise (and sort of artwork) on a plate. Ideally located close to centre and ski area. Cosy wellness which is not too crowded (even in high season) and would recommend a relaxing massage (reasonable price). We are definitely coming back next year. Tip for travellers: ask for a renovated room - looks like a dream! Thank you Hotel Spol for making our vacation so enjoyable"
"We stayed at Hotel Spol 11-17. March 2023, received a warm wellcome, when arriving, got a nice room, and on top of that, which we did not know, Spol had a fantastic restraurant, serving an excellent 5 course dinner, and as well a nice breakfast buffet, the only thing is that you spend too much time in the morning eating, instead of skiing, due to the good food."
