Livigno, the small Italian mountain village ranks as as one of the top mountain biking locations in the Alps. Downhillers, freeriders, enduro riders and slope stylers all rave about the Mottolino Bikepark located there. Mountain-action organises a big summer holiday MTB youth camp there with pro riders and top coaches.

The Camp:

During the 2015 summer holidays Mountain-action is organising the fourth big MTB Freeride Youth camp in the Mottolino Park in Livigno – one of the best freeride locations in the Alps.
Participants can be competitive youths who ride enduro, freeride, downhill or slopestyle. Beginners wanting to learn basic skills are just as welcome as experienced pilots who will be looked after by the Mountain-action team riders. Groups are formed based on ability and interests. Along with the coaching itself which focuses on improving skills and style all participants will spend the whole day riding.

Freeride-rides in breathtaking surroundings are also part of the program!

During the Camps there will be lots of filming and photoshooting - so you’ll get plenty of top quality material to post on YouTube, Vimeo, Instagram and Facebook.

Fun is clearly the big priority at the Mountain-action camps. Small groups shred the trails.

If the weather allows a BBQ at a private mountain hut will be on the program followed by a night ride railing down the epic trails by headlamp. Under the motto „out of the bike park“ riders can also use a bit of “pedal power“ to check out the incredible natural trails in the Livigno area. Another highlight is the scree surfing, where bikers can shred down the loose gravel slopes at a secret location.

Pro Rider/Coaches:

Support and coaching will be undertaken by the Mountain-action team riders, head of the camp is Andi Neuhauser, owner of Mountain-action.
