What this network spans
Grades 1 to 51-5 (green to double-black)
Local grading

UK/Euro system (White/Green beginner, Blue easy-intermediate, Red advanced, Black expert, plus Proline/Slopestyle).

Zones & variants

Group split by trail grade off the shared Mottolino gondola uplift: beginners take blue flow (Take It Easy, Livigno White Trail) and the airbag/easy jump lines; intermediates ride red flow (Flow Line, First Ever, Stoner, EAS 23); advanced/pro riders take black trails, the Slopestyle line, drop area and North Shore. The Yepi chairlift additionally serves high-altitude trails, slopestyle and jump areas. Source: https://www.trailforks.com/region/mottolino-bike-park/

Accessibility & group fit

Strong group fit across all abilities - beginners, families, experts and pros can ride the same lift and split by trail colour. Beginner blue trails and instructor-friendly practice areas (inflatable airbag, easy jump line) alongside expert/pro lines. Downhill School and rental gear on site.

The riding

Terrain

Mix of machine-built earthen flow trails with berms and jumps, natural/rooty singletrack and enduro-style natural trails, plus wooden North Shore structures (bridges, step-ups, skinnies) and earth/wood slopestyle features. Primary trail type: All-Mountain & Downhill (Trailforks).

Technical demands

Ranges from smooth machine-built blue flow to steep, slippery technical red/black trails (e.g. B.B.), wooden North Shore skinnies/step-ups/step-downs, drops, and a pro Slopestyle line with large gap jumps requiring wind/weather awareness. Exposure generally moderate on flow trails, high on structures and pro lines.

Navigation

Fully signed lift-served park; trails colour-graded and named, with a printed/downloadable Bikepark map (2026 edition) and a map board at the park entrance. Little independent navigation needed. Map: https://www.mottolino.com/app/uploads/2026/04/MOT-MAPPA-BIKEPARK-ESTATE-2026.jpg

Crowds

Popular, well-established park - moderate to busy in peak summer weekends/July-August (Trailforks: approx 86 rides in a recent week, 14,000+ logged rides). Natural/enduro trails such as Valle Delle Mine noted as having few people; core flow trails busier.

Season & conditions

Open window

2026 official season June 13 - September 27, daily 09:00-17:00 (Mottolino). Trailforks lists an indicative Jun 21 - Sep 21 window. High-altitude terrain is snow-free roughly late June through September. Source: https://www.mottolino.com/en/summer/bikepark/

Best season

Summer, roughly mid-June to late September. Peak/most-ridden months are July, August and September (Trailforks ride-log data). Source: https://www.trailforks.com/region/mottolino-bike-park/

Seasonal specials

Slopestyle line incorporates ramps from the Nine Knights castle; jump area with three graded lines and an inflatable airbag for learning tricks. Note: for summer 2025 some trails beyond the Eira Pass overpass were closed for Olympic (Milano-Cortina 2026) construction, with a red connector line and Yepi chairlift bike access in place.

High-alpine exposure: afternoon thunderstorms, rapid temperature drops, and wind - wind in particular can make the slopestyle/jump structures unsafe and riders are advised to assess conditions before hitting big features. Wet weather makes steep red/black trails (e.g. B.B.) slippery. Source: https://www.mottolino.com/en/summer/bikepark/areas/

Hazards & rescue

Hazards

Steep slippery sections when wet (e.g. B.B.), high-consequence slopestyle/drop/jump structures needing wind assessment and high skill, wooden North Shore skinnies, and shared trails with other riders. 2025-26 Olympic construction closed some trails beyond Eira Pass with a red connector line - check current status.

Guiding

No guide required for open marked trails - self-guided within the lift-served park. Mottolino's Downhill School offers lessons; the park advises beginners entrust the community/experts before attempting the pro slopestyle structures.

Emergency & rescue

On-site bike patrol; emergency number to save is +39 349 2264736 (call immediately in case of accident). Italian general emergency 112. Multiple trail intersections/lift access allow bail-out to the gondola or connector roads. Source: https://www.mottolino.com/en/summer/bikepark/
