A good mix of trails, fun and tasty local cheese and wine. On May, 27-28 more than 500 e-mtb riders gathered together for a weekend of races and ebike tours on the trails of Valtellina (North of Italy). Photo by: Iso 51The big highlight of 2023 was the E-Enduro Race, a two days competition with a total of 7 stages, 65.8 kilometres and 3100 meters of vertical. More than 150 athletes from Italy, French and Germany competed on the trails of the Orobie Alps, designed and prepared by 360 Valtellina Bike, a local association of passionate volunteers.
