Granfondo Livigno Alè – Update of June 27

Today, the Prefecture of Provincia di Sondrio ordered the closure of the Stelvio road due to a landslide reported by Anas. The severe weather that hit the Valtellina area last night caused the collapse of a retaining wall, which spilled debris, rocks, and mud onto the road surface, damaging the asphalt near the Bagni Vecchi area in Bormio.

With great regret, this closure makes it impossible to carry out the Long Route of the Granfondo Livigno Alé, scheduled for tomorrow, Saturday, June 28, starting from Aquagranda in Livigno. The safety of all participating athletes is our top priority.

However, the Mediofondo Route is CONFIRMED, still starting from Aquagranda. All registered participants will be redirected to this route, which features a challenging course of over 106 kilometers with more than 2000 meters of elevation gain. It is a technically and scenically demanding route, including some of the most iconic mountain passes and preserving the epic conclusion—from Passo Eira to Mottolino—which mirrors the final segment of the Queen Stage of the 2024 Giro d’Italia.

We also remind you of the “Pogacar segment” challenge at the end: a race within the race that will award a Pinarello bike to the fastest male and female times.

We apologize for this unforeseen change, caused by force majeure. Confident that even on the shorter route Livigno will leave everyone breathless with its stunning landscapes, we wish all participants a great ride and lots of fun.

The traditional Granfondo returns to Livigno on Saturday, June 28, featuring iconic Alpine passes, breathtaking landscapes, and two routes to fully enjoy.

Livigno, 15/01/2025 – The Little Tibet Confirms Itself as a Major European Capital of Cycling. Livigno is once again preparing to host this year’s traditional Granfondo Livigno Alè, one of the most eagerly awaited events for Italian cycling enthusiasts.

A historic event, it returns to explore the untouched nature of Livigno, a magical destination for cycling lovers. Among its pristine mountains, visitors can enjoy dozens of options and an endless combination of possibilities. From mountain biking to downhill, from challenging alpine passes to scenic trails suitable for the whole family, Livigno is always ready to meet every two-wheel need.
So, even in the heart of winter, it is never too early to start planning your next sports trip. You can take advantage of special offers available until April to enjoy a reduced price for participating in the Granfondo Livigno Alè.

The race, scheduled for Saturday, June 28, takes place during a period full of new opportunities for cycling enthusiasts. As for the Alè, registrations have been open since last December, with the price locked at €60.00 until April 30. This is a unique opportunity to secure your race number under highly advantageous conditions, choosing between two proposed route options to test your abilities.

The Mediofondo route spans 106 km with 2,050 meters of altitude gain. It begins in Livigno, climbs the Passo della Forcola and Passo del Bernina, descends into the Engadine Valley to Zernez, then ascends the Passo del Forno, crosses the Munt La Schera Tunnel, and finishes at Mottolino. This finale is the exact same as the iconic queen stage of last year’s Giro d’Italia.

The Granfondo route, on the other hand, covers 166 km with a staggering 4,100 meters of altitude gain. It extends the shorter route by including the Passo Umbrail, Passo del Foscagno, and Passo Eira. These routes, of rare beauty, traverse the entire Alpine arc surrounding the area, offering participants emotions that will last a lifetime.

Yet another confirmation of how deeply cycling is rooted in Livigno’s identity: it has always been a favored destination for numerous champions and top teams, completing their preparation for the most important seasonal events thanks to altitude training. For years, this location has been a partner of major stage races and the most iconic Classics in our country. More recently, it was also the stage for the Giro d’Italia, where Tadej Pogacar wrote a page of Italian cycling history right at Mottolino. A special climb, which, like all the scenic spots in the area, will also feature in the Granfondo Livigno Alè.
