MXDN Maggiora trip 2016

Edited Date/Time 5/10/2016 8:48am
So.. I am starting to plan a trip to Mxdn in September and need some tips.. so if you have any, please share.

My plan is to fly to Milan and rent motorcycles there and experience Maggiora the best I can!

I am wondering, where is the best place to stay?
Any other thing to do in the area that is worth checking out?

Anyone else going?

Goodvibes

I would look for a hotel first. It looks like all is sold out already 50 miles around the track.

Have you ever been to that part of Italy before? I've never been to Maggoria but I did go to the F1 GP in Monza a few years ago and stayed on one of the lakes at the base of the Alps. It was one of the most beautiful places on the planet. I didn't spend much time in Milan but from what I remember it wasn't that nice of a city. If you're a fan of auto racing and have never been to Monza that would be cool to go see while you're there if you can. Seeing the old banks from the old track was cool.

If I didn't have a toddler and an infant I'd be trying to go to MXDN this year. I'm jealous. Have fun!

If you want the full experience of a Nations-weekend, I can recommend the camping site of the event itself. You won't get much sleep though.

haha.. yeah i was thinking about that but since my dad is well in his 60's and made for comfort I think a nice bed is a good deal.. If it was me and my mates only.. it would been a totally different story

I bought my tickets back in october and almost any hotel, b&b or whatever accomodation in the area was already reserved, so hurry up.
You will surely find something in Milan, but I don't think there's anything left near the track.

Hi

I live near the circuit (not so near, 30/40min)

you can stay near the lake, for example in Laveno Mombello, o in near villages like Arona Angera ecc..., sure you can find place to sleep in Milan but near the lake (lakes) there are a lot of beatifull small villages!

Sure, camping at the track is a incredibile experience

Sure, camping at the track is an incredible experience, as DeStouwer said, you won't sleep one single second

if you need something else i'm here! :-)

Just to underline what other people are saying about not getting any sleep at the track:



That was just a GP, and the MXdN is usually much more intense at night!

If the paddock for camping is going to be laid out the same as it was for last year's GP, and you fancy any sleep at all, I'd recommend staying away from the track. You can park not too far away on both days and walk for a few kilometers. Or if you're on bikes I'm sure you could park much closer.

As for checking other stuff out while you're there, definitely ride the Stelvio Pass. It's a spectacular road, and the weather in September is usually very good. Easily one of the most scenic roads in the world!
