From 20 to 22 June “The little Italian Tibet” hosts the first edition of the event that brings the bike to places made especially to pedal. Three days of tests, guided exits and great guests in the heart of the Alps

June 19 – 23:17 – MILAN

The countdown began: only one week is missing in Above The Bike Experience, the event staged by Livigno Next and Movstro, a design heart of IBF – Italian Bike Festival, which celebrates the bicycle where it offers the best of itself: between mountain roads, panoramic trails and breathtaking itineraries. From 20 to 22 June, Livigno turns into a base camp for those who look for much more than one pedaling on the bike: 40 confirmed exhibitors, free rides, technical clinics, social laughs and exceptional guests, such as Mario Cipollini, Eva Lechner and Elia Viviani. It is not a simple fair: it is an experience to be lived in the saddle, in one of the most iconic territories for those who pedal, a favorite destination for athletes, teams and international brands for landscape beauty, the 3200 kilometers of paths mapped by the GPS, the training in altitude and the quality of the receptive structures.

The heart of the event is the Above Village, in the center of Livigno: an open exhibition area where you can discover the latest bike sector news, test models on dedicated routes, confront the experts and pedal side by side with ambassador and athletes. Bike tests are free, available for the entire duration of the event on paths also created ad hoc for the event to better live the performance of your bicycle: discover more on Abovethebikeexperience.com/test-bike.
