From the Learn & Flow Area to the pump track, including AirBag and dual slalom: the Bike Park in Livigno expands the spaces dedicated to the learning and progression of riders of all ages and experience levels.
The 2026 season of the Mottolino Bike Park in Livigno revolves around a precise concept: progression. From the first experiences in downhill to the more challenging lines, the interventions made this year aim to expand the growth opportunities for riders through new areas dedicated to practice and structures designed to improve technique and confidence on the mountain bike.
Opened from June 13 to September 27, the Bike Park continues to develop its offerings on multiple levels, aiming to make riding more accessible without compromising the technical content that has characterized the area for years.
The main news concerns the area of the M’eating Point, accessible via the Mottolino cable car and a reference point for the entire Bike Park. Here, the new Learn & Flow Area has recently been inaugurated, a space designed for practicing and improving mountain bike skills.
Inside the new area, there is a pump track, a circuit characterized by parabolic curves and small bumps that allows you to generate speed through body movements, without pedaling. A structure useful for developing fluidity, coordination, and load management skills.
Available to the riders is also the AirBag, the large air mattress that allows for practicing jumps and tricks in controlled conditions, before transferring what they’ve learned to the trails. A little higher up is the dual slalom, a track made up of two parallel lanes where two riders can compete simultaneously, creating opportunities for training and direct comparison in a more playful and competitive environment.
The Learn & Flow Area is not designed exclusively for beginners, but as a cross-functional space where riders with different levels of experience can work on the fundamentals of riding. Those approaching mountain biking can gain more confidence with the bike and the dynamics of riding, while more experienced users can refine technique, precision, and control.
The new features are part of a system that, over the years, has led Mottolino to develop trails and structures designed for different riding styles. Alongside the more accessible lines, there is the Jump Area, dedicated to practicing jumps and aerial progression, and the North Shore Area, characterized by walkways and wooden structures that require precision and control.
For the more experienced riders, the most challenging lines in the area remain a point of reference. Among these is the SIC58, characterized by features reserved for advanced-level bikers, significant gaps, and sections that require speed, precision, and full control of the vehicle.
In 2026, the Ride & Style Series has also been confirmed, the schedule of events that accompanies and enlivens the Bike Park season. The first event, the Sic Session, took place on June 20, while the second event, dedicated to the challenges between Pump Track and Dual Slalom, was held on July 18.
The last appointment of the series is scheduled for Saturday, September 12 and will once again focus on the facilities of the Learn & Flow Area.
Meanwhile, the evening openings of the Bike Park continue. After the events that started on July 31, the last extended opening of the season will take place on Friday, August 21: the activity will continue until 8:30 PM, allowing riders to take advantage of the cooler hours of the day and experience the trails of the area from a different perspective.
At the base of the cable car is the headquarters of the Bike Park, where you can find rental, shop, ticket office, and bike schools. At altitude, however, the M’eating Point continues to be the main reference point for those spending the whole day on the trails.
If in the past the bike park was mainly a place to test one’s skills, today an increasing number of riders are also looking for spaces to develop them. The continuous evolution of mountain biking therefore presents new challenges to the facilities, which are called not only to build trails but also to interpret the changes in the discipline.
Mottolino aims to respond to this evolution by expanding the spaces dedicated to learning and technique, while the 2026 season is still in full swing and the focus is already on the upcoming developments.
