Livigno
Italy
Nestled near the Swiss border in the Italian Alps north of Milano, Livigno – is an enchanting snow resort with 110km of fantastic trails to enjoy for all levels on both sides of the wide and sunny valley. There are off-piste options for days for those who like to light it up in the backcountry.
Livigno’s high altitude (1,816 metres above sea level) means the runs are wide and open, and the snow is generally plentiful and dry, particularly during January and February.
Livigno has recently been named as host to the Freestyle and Snowboard events in the Milano-Cortina 2026 Winter Olympic Games, as well as the venue for the Olympic Village.
Away from the slopes, the centre of Livigno is a lively, friendly and charming village with characteristic timber buildings and a pedestrian-only shopping avenue with an alpine vibe. There are bars galore, an abundance of pizzerias and restaurants and buzzing apres.
In true Italian style, food and wine is top quality in Livigno, with hundreds of restaurants to choose from, with all the flavours we love about Italy.
For extra adrenlin-infused experiences after skiing, Livigno has so much to offer. Fat biking, ice climbing, snowmobiling, ice driving courses, dog sledding, horse riding, ice quad biking, paragliding and ice skating are all optional apres-ski activities in Livigno!
Shopaholics are fully hooked up in Livigno with the area enjoying a special duty-free status, meaning items like perfume and alcohol are cheap cheap cheap.
