Venue
The 2012 EMM will be based in Livigno Italy, located in the heart of the alps in a very high Alpine valley, the Valtelline. Livigno is a well know ski resort in the winter and attracts all types of outdoor sports enthusiasts in the summer. As a bonus, the region is also a duty free zone, so petrol, tobacco and booze are highly discounted.
Livigno is incredibly well located with three access roads going different directions, all of which offer great riding and superb scenery. Riding east leads down to Bormio which is at the foot of the highly regarded Stelvio pass, which in Europe is second in attitude only to Col de Bonette, which we rode last year. Riding north takes us by Logo di Gallo and then into Switzerland. Riding south takes us to Berninapass, again in Switzerland- and then down to St Moritz.
The base for the EMM 2012 is the Hotel Astoria, a medium sized hotel, highly rated for both food and lodging by Trip Advisor. The hotel has a sauna, a billiards table, big garage for the bikes and what looks to be a great terrace. There are 34 rooms, so this should accommodate all of us, unless we have an avalanche of riders this year. There are singles, doubles, and 4 person rooms.
We would like to take down the whole hotel if we can this year, but we need registrations quickly if we are going to be able to do this. Hotel Information:
