Bikepark Bormio: all the suggestions for downhill and freeride MTB lovers
If you are an advanced level MTBiker and prefer the descent, in Vallecetta, you can discover a Gravity Park for true connoisseurs
The Bikepark Bormio, which develops on the side of the ski lifts, from Cima Bianca (3,012 m) to Bormio 2000 (1,950 m), is ideal for those looking for adrenaline on their bikes.
Seven downhill runs and an epic 13 km freeride descent that twist and turn entirely through the Stelvio National Park are the alternatives you can choose from once you get off the cable car at an altitude of 3000 meters.
The Bikepark Bormio, built in 2014, is usually open from the end of June to mid-September and is a destination of excellence for experienced bikers, lovers of nature and wilderness areas.
The Bikepark Bormio rose to the fore in the national downhill chronicles right from the start, thanks to the fact that it hosted the final of the Gravitalia National Circuit.
