Do you want to take a vacation, or do you want to experience something unusual in the snow? Here are three routes<\/strong>, from the Valtellina<\/strong>\u00a0to Trentino<\/strong>, to find snow-bike.<\/p>\n

How?<\/strong>
\nYou will use an ordinary mountain bike<\/strong> with covers (rubber – tire) carved and \/or tessellated or even spikes (especially with packed snow and ice).<\/p>\n

Usually snow bike also means a modified bicycle where the wheels are sosituite slopes, very similar to cross-country skiing and cycling instead of using the rider at the bottom of the skis wide and short to give a push and glide over the snow . This option is definitely more fun. It allows you to get off the slopes, while the more experienced will be engaged in jumps and stunts . The snowcycle or snowbike have shoes instead of wheels, it is easy to drive and are very agile.<\/p>\n
