Description

From the Bernina Pass, it goes up a well-developed singletrail to Fuorcla Minor and down a similarly well-developed singletrail to Forcola di Livigno. Then it continues along the valley floor into the wide plain of Livigno, keeping to the right of the stream and thus mostly reaching the town of Livigno via singletrails. In Livigno, a pasta break is on the agenda, as the Chaschauna Pass is still part of the program. To get there, you ride up the Valle di Federia and then on the steep gravel road past the Rifugio Cassana up to the Chaschauna Pass. The ascent is very steep! For the descent, singletrail fun is guaranteed: the path down to Val Chaschauna was specially created for mountain bikers and is the perfect final section of the second stage, which ends a little further down at the Parkhütte Varusch.


Parkhütte Varusch: The Parkhütte Varusch at the entrance to the national park spoils you with local specialties, and the terrace offers fantastic views where, with some luck, you can observe ibex, deer, stags, and chamois.
