The DH Italian Champs 2017 in Bormio: it is not the freshest news since it dates back to November 11, 2015. The Italian Cycling Federation released an official press bulletin giving out the names of the locations hosting the next champs 2016 and 2017.
For us, in Bormio Bike, was one of best update ever and a great honor because it meant that Bormio was finally among the top bike parks among the Italian scene.
Now, after the winter pause, we are back! Our attention is focused on the race course which, very soon, is going to host the Gravitalia and next year the Italian Champs.
Who wouldn’t like to become a pro of gravity mountain biking? From today you can thanks to our new project Gravity Camp 2016: an activity that our bike park is recommending in collaboration with a great friend of us, a wonderful bike rider and an mtb instructor: Alessandro Pigorini (a.ka. “Ale Kid”).
The opening of Bormio Bike is at the doors: in a month, as a matter of fact, Gravitalia will make a stop to our gravity park to make our start of the season just amazing. Let’s then find out what the operation hours of the lifts in Bormio for the summer 2016 are going to look like:
The National Circuit Gravitalia 2016 will be in Bormio at the end of June. That represents a nice comeback and an event not to be missed for all the people who love gravity mountain biking.
Bormio has entered the circuit in 2014 with a constantly renovated track which allows the athletes to ride on an itinerary both fun and adequate for the increasing level of the riders.
The race course has a vertical drop of 600 meters and and a full length of 3 km. The start is located in Valbella (2.527 m), easily reachable by the chairlift Bormio 2000-Cimino.
The finish line is in Bormio 2000 (1,952 m), which will also host the paddock area and the prize giving ceremony within a marvellous natural environment.
The race course, generously updated on the previous edition, is going to be renew again for 2016.
The stage of Bormio represents a last testing ground for the athletes who are going to join the Downhill Italian Champs in July.
The new video “Bormio is bike day everyday” is online and published on our YouTube channel.
The video is a short movie realized by the local film crew Boormio Blog News. It’s a story about a young man who never get off his mountain bike. “The story telling – Massimo Canclini from Boormio Blog News reveals us – is a chronological sequence of the events through which the viewer follows the rider and, at the same time, discovers Bormio”.
Bormio Bike, the ultimate gravity park in Bormio (Lombardia, Italy), will officially open from July 2, 2016.
The bike park of Bormio is an amibitious project led by Società Impianti Bormio s.p.a., born in the spring of 2012, with one great goal: developing an equipped bike arena with trails of different disciplines such as cross country, downhill and freeride for all levels, from beginner to pro.
From 2012 up to today the evolution and growth of the park have been exponential: on the mountain five new downhill trails were built for a total of 8 km. The bike park has also hosted two rounds of the National Circuit Gravitalia in 2014 and 2015.
Bormio Bike’s mtb thrift store is open! It’s a great chance for downhill and freeride lovers!
The Commencal Supreme Racing bikes (size L and M) and all our Axo protectors (kneepads, back and elbow protectors, full face helmets and gloves) are for sale.
Those are all products used last summer at our bike park and now for sale at a very convenient price.

Circuito Nazionale Gravitalia – Rd #4 BORMIO Final
It was a real splendid day yesterday for the Round#4 of Circuito Nazionale Gravitalia which took place in Bormio (SO), among breathtaking views of white mountain peaks surrounding Bormio 2000.
The race course started from 2,600 meters. It was a longe and fast course, totally built with bulldozers, with a technical central part and lots of parabolic curves. The ground progressively had dried from mud, residual of a prior snowfall, becoming faster and more demanding.
Oscar Härnström (Exceptio Sport Commençal) was the best at understanding the course and marking the lower time painting fabulous curves and letting his power off on the pedals. He won the final in Bormio with the time of 4’56″90, improving his yesterday’s winning seeding run of more than 6 seconds.
Excellent performance by Carlo Caire (AB Devinci Italy) who got second place and gained precious points for the rankings.
The Italian Champion Francesco Colombo (AB Devinci Italy) closed in third position, half second distant from his team mate. With the points gained here, he reinforced his leadership in the circuit with great chances of winning the title.
Francesco Petrucci (Team Cingolani) finished fourth, victim of a mistake who threw him off the course. Stefano Mezzetta (360 Degrees) made the fifth place after a long hotseat who awarded him for being the first closing under 5’10″.
Veronika Widmann (ABC Egna Neumarkt) won the final run with a wonderful 5’39″59 despite the injury occured during the seeding run.
Eleonora Farina (Mangusta Bike) finished in second place, only one hundredth of second slower than Veronika. The pro season in the Women category has never been so competitive as this year. Anyhow Eleonora has kept the jersery of leader of the circuit. Third place for Elisabetta Canovi (Team Cingolani).
Sara Mologni (Scout Nukeproof), our mechanic for Bormio Bike, won here for our great satisfaction and confirming her control over the category Women Amateur.
Among the Amateru Men, Paolo Alleva (Scout Nukeproof) closed with best time. Fabrizio Dragoni (Alessi Racing) got the second place, keeping the leader jersey. Third place for Luca Fusani (GS Pro-M),.

And so it happened that on September equinox a severe snow alert was on. 15 cm of fresh snow in Bormio 2000 and about 50 cm in Bormio 3000. A real heavy report to face just a few days before the race of the National Circuit Gravitalia.
“No panic.” That’s the message launched by our technical director Pasquale Canclini. “The low-pressure area is about to leave us in favor of clear sky and higher temperatures. The situazione will drastically improve tomorrow. Within the next few hours we are going to move our snow groomers to clear the race course. And then the weather will help us. The opening of the lifts is confirmed for tomorrow but delayed of a few hours. The chairlift Bormio 2000-Cimino will be open from 2:00 pm.”
Bormio Bike chiude la propria stagione estiva con un evento imperdibile per gli amanti del downhill. Il bike park ospiterà il Round #4 del Circuito Nazionale Gravitalia nei giorni 26/27 settembre 2015. La gara, alla quale prenderanno parte centinaia di rider, si correrà su un percorso interamente rinnovato con l’inserimento di sezioni tecniche e di sezioni lavorate a ruspa. Si comincia sabato mattina con le prove libere e qualifiche nel pomeriggio ed infine domenica alle ore 13:00 il momento più atteso, manche di gara – finale.
Il circuito, organizzato da Gravitalia e patrocinato dalla Federazione Ciclistica Italiana, è ospitato da altre quattro località della penisola. Di seguito il calendario completo:
The new Zombie track, inaugurated on September 12, is so awesome.
It’s a fantastic 1,400-meter-long flow trail in the woods, with a vertical drop of 253 meters, totally built with bulldozers. The Round #4 of Gravitalia 2015 – which will take place in Bormio on Sept. 26/27- will pass in here.
And so it comes September… And that means shorter days, lower temperatures and, believe it or not, the first snow on mountain peaks. All those are signs of summer giving up to throw us back into our shelters and sink into our big fat, comfy couches. But don’t let this quick change of season fool you. September is often and unexpectedly a marvellous month for the mountain with warm sunny days and spectacular colors.
To extend your desire of summer, sport and fresh air, there is nothing better than Bormio Bike. The bike park of Bormio will, in fact, be open on a few special days during this month because we just don’t wont to give up downhill mountain biking so soon. This weekend the new Zombie track will be inaugurated. It’s a fantastic 1,400-meter-long flow trail in the woods, with a vertical drop of 253 meters, totally built with bulldozers.

At Bormio Bike we like to teach downhill to beginners and not only. From August 13 to 22 the bike park of Bormio will organize the Summer Gravity Camp with the special participation of the mtb instructor Alessandro Pigorini.
Two types of camps will be available: the Safety Camp, a theory and practice course of two days for those who would like to start doing downhill mountain biking and learn in total safety all the secrets of it and the Race Camp, again lasting two days, but focusing on the study of the race track of Round #4 of Gravitalia.
The Safety Camps will be available in three different dates: August 13-14, 15-16 and 17-18 while the Race Camps on August 19-20 and 21-22. For both types of camps we ask to make a reservation.
Three weeks ago Bormio Bike, the bike park at 3,000 meters, has opened its doors. During this short time, the park has been changing continuously but its transformation has not been completed yet and will proceed during August as well. The shapers Fabio and Filippo have been working with no break; shovel, pickax and rake, basically, have become their loyal and best friends. Pierino’s excavator has never stopped and so far it has given us a lot of new kilometers of tracks. The downhill tracks Paul Newman and Viper are, in fact, entirely new.
