There’s something I love about summer mornings at Hotel Galli: the breakfast tables become a window into our guests’ stories.
There’s something I love about summer mornings at Hotel Galli: the breakfast tables become a window into our guests’ stories.
Some arrive already wearing cycling shoes, asking Barbara about routes before even having their coffee.
Others take it slower—maybe the day before they enjoyed a wine tasting, and now they’re curious about which bottles to take home.
_Luca,_ Barbara once told me at the beginning of a summer season, _ we have so many guests who are passionate about wine. They don’t just want to taste Valtellina labels—they want to discover the territory behind them.
And then there are the cyclists. Livigno is one of the most beautiful places in the world to ride—on the road and off-road. In summer it’s full of enthusiasts enjoying scenic routes, and professionals training at altitude.
Why don’t we create an experience that brings these two worlds together?
I’ve always been proud of my team. Over the years, they’ve truly embraced my idea of hospitality—and often, the best ideas come from them.
_ You’re right,_ I told her. _ This is exactly the kind of experience that makes a stay at Hotel Galli unique.
That conversation was the starting point. Over time, we refined the idea, shaping it into something truly special.
Today, we’re ready to present it in its best form: the Bike & Wine Experience.
Morning: Ride at Your Own Pace
The day begins on an e-bike, with pedal assistance making even the more challenging stretches accessible to everyone.
The routes around Livigno are simply unforgettable—each one leading to breathtaking alpine views.
We take care of everything: bike rental is booked in advance just a short walk from the hotel.
All you need to do is enjoy breakfast and choose your route.
Lunch: A Picnic with the Flavours of Valtellina
Before setting off, you’ll receive a backpack prepared with everything you need for a true Valtellina-style picnic:
bresaola, local cheeses, focaccia filled with the flavours of the valley—and, of course, a bottle of Rosso di Valtellina.
Enjoying lunch outdoors, surrounded by mountains, laying a blanket on the grass with a glass of wine in hand—this is one of those moments that defines a holiday.
Bike & Wine Experience: A Different Way to Experience Livigno
The Bike & Wine Experience is our summer proposal for those who are always looking for something more from their holiday—an emotion, a discovery, a memory worth the journey.
It’s a way of experiencing Livigno that carries the authentic flavour of these mountains—something you can take home with you, along with a few carefully chosen bottles.
Discover all the details of the Bike & Wine Experience and book your stay.
We look forward to welcoming you this summer at Hotel Galli.
