Livigno

Livigno

Livigno is a superb all-round ski resort offering high altitude sunny skiing, plenty of entertainment and accommodation catering for all tastes and pockets. Lying in the stunning Valtellina alpine valley near the Swiss border, Livigno boasts modern ski lifts and well prepared pistes whilst retaining the traditional rustic character of its 3 original villages.

The extensive skiing for ski holidays in Livigno is split on both sides of the valley; to the east are the connected Carosello and Costaccia areas, to the west the recently expanded slopes of the challenging Mottolino ski area. Ski holidays in Livigno offer great stuff for beginners and intermediates, both boarders and skiers. You can also ‘ski in, ski out’. The lift system is efficient enough to negate queues.

There are snow making facilities across the pistes in Livigno which adds to the natural snowfall for more guaranteed skiing throughout the season.

A little known secret of Livigno is the option of a day trip to the über-fashionable St Moritz just across the border in Switzerland. For a nominal fee (arranged easily locally) you can rub shoulders with the super rich and ski in a world class chic resort. The view from the gastronomic Trutz restaurant is well worth the trip itself.
