The most
commonly used trail is upp to the
Val Alpisella
Pass (2268) One goes out of town along the lake‘s southern shore, small
road, and then up first on fire road then on tight technically
demanding
switchbacks to the Val Alpisella Pass 2268. A splendid ride.
There
were many mountain bikers.
From the Pass one can continue down on fire road down to Lago San Giacomo another lake. Then, one can go on fire roads across the watershed of the Ferecle Pass (1952) in a wide arid valley. A rough gravel road continues down the valley. When one approaches the Livigno Lake one crosses a bridge and then continues on beautiful singltrack that goes on a high partly exposed traverse some 40 or 50 m above the lake. In a few spots slides have gone down on the pass so one has to carry the bike. We turned around here when we came to a spot where we would have had to carry the bikes on steep scree 100 metres or so. It was not the difficulty in per se that made us turn around. The hour was getting late and we were not sure the weather would remain fine. As we were sitting there having a break two swiss girls came down from Alpe del Gallo. A circuit around Buffalora would be a splendid day though one would have to start early. As it were the weather changed on us. Returning to Livgno we were hit by a heavy thunder storm and ice cold torrential rain with some hail. |
