Special guests, sports talks, bike tests, unique experiences, and one of the most comprehensive offerings in Europe: Livigno brings the two-wheel community together.
Every region has its own identity. In Livigno, an essential part of this history has always revolved around cycling: among alpine passes, high-altitude training, major events, and a community that experiences movement as an indispensable element of daily life. From June 26 to 28, this vision finds a new opportunity to express and expand itself during the weekend of the Granfondo Livigno Alé, the premier summer opening event.
Right in the heart of the 1816 Bike Zone Livigno, the entire weekend becomes a 360-degree celebration of the cycling world, bringing the entire two-wheel community together around a program that highlights every interpretation of the bicycle, from performance to the exploration of the territory. Three days where road cycling, mountain biking, flow trails, and downhill coexist within a single breath, further cementing Livigno's positioning as an international destination for those who choose the bicycle as a tool for exploration, performance, freedom, and connection with the mountain.
The beating heart of the event will be the Expo Village, set up in the center of the resort. A dynamic, open, and integrated space: the expression of the 1816 Bike Zone's soul, a meeting place for athletes, present and past champions, enthusiasts, brands, industry professionals, and two-wheel lovers. Here, activities, sports talks, discussion panels, and opportunities to discover firsthand everything that makes Livigno one of Europe's most complete and recognizable bike destinations will come to life.
Alongside partner stands and brands with their innovative proposals, the public will find local bike guides—the go-to reference for information, tips, and consulting on the area's trails—as well as the Livigno stand featuring immersive content designed to showcase the resort from fresh perspectives. A widespread program develops around the Granfondo, inviting people to experience the 1816 Bike Zone firsthand and enhancing a top-tier sporting event.
Throughout all three days, various bike experiences bookable via MyLivignoPass will be offered, designed to let visitors experience the territory firsthand. Sunset social rides accompanied by bike guides, panoramic valley tours, and guided descents in the Mottolino and Carosello 3000 areas will provide the chance to come into direct contact with the landscape, experiencing its vastness and potential.
A central role will also be played by bike tests, thanks to collaboration with participating rental shops. Visitors can book dedicated sessions to try out various models provided by the different rental partners for free. Road bikes, flow trails, cross-country, enduro routes, and downhill tracks will transform Livigno into a natural testing ground for every type of bike: an open-air laboratory where everyone can find the ideal terrain to truly understand the potential of the equipment they are using, set against a backdrop of extraordinary alpine beauty.
Saturday's events will culminate with the Official Bikers Party, scheduled starting at 5:00 PM at the Alm Centrale. An event open to everyone, designed to bring participants, companions, professionals, amateurs, and casual fans together in a moment of celebration. It is a natural extension of the Granfondo’s atmosphere, confirming the desire to turn the weekend into a shared experience well beyond the finish line.
Among the most anticipated moments of the weekend will be the talks dedicated to the cycling world and beyond, designed to bring different stories, experiences, and visions of a constantly evolving sport to the stage. Confirmed guests include Sonny Colbrelli, Alessandro Petacchi, and Andrea Pusateri, protagonist of an athletic and human journey capable of inspiring thousands of people. Right here in Livigno, a few days after the Granfondo, Beyond Limits Italia 2026 will kick off—the new project that will be officially presented during the weekend.
Thus, the Granfondo becomes the starting point for a broader narrative that runs through the entire 1816 Bike Zone Livigno, reflecting the richness of a destination chosen every year by professionals, enthusiasts, and guests from all over Europe. It is a system built around major events, altitude training, specialized hospitality, and iconic trails, but made unique by a community that lives cycling as an integral part of its culture. For three days, Livigno becomes the meeting point for a community that experiences the mountain in all its forms.
The Granfondo, the experiences, the bike tests, the meetings, and the village all share the same energy, bringing to life a Bike Zone that continues to evolve, broaden its horizons, and consolidate its role among Europe's most authoritative destinations in the cycling world.
