Livigno is a brand in itself. One of the most popular ski resorts in the Alps. Although its offer consists of only 120 km of trails, divided into two areas which are not connected with each other, it makes up for it in other areas. A very long ski season, an extensive range of restaurants and bars, as well as a duty-free zone, are the reason why Livigno is on the one hand a mecca for skiers-partiers, and on the other hand provides great conditions for skiing from late autumn until May.

Livigno is the place of origin of the popular Free Ski offers. They enable to receive ski passes as a gift after booking accommodation. This offer is valid each year, for the first three weeks of December and almost the entire month of April, attracting crowds of skiers at great prices.

Livigno has two separate ski areas. The larger one, Carosello 3000, offers skiing on very long routes up to an altitude of 3000 m above sea level. This ski area is dominated by red trails, very sunny and wide, perfect for carving. An attractive addition is the fact that the ski area is extended almost along the whole length of the town, and the ski runs descend nearly to the streets. From afternoon to the end of the day you can ski almost to the entrance of your hotel or rented apartment.

The Mottolino ski area is near the main promenade of Livigno. Skiers usually arrive here by ski bus in about 10 minutes. Mottolino runs are on average longer and more difficult than those in Carosello. A gondola lift and chairlift transport skiers up to a height of over 2,500 m above sea level. And although you ski here on the open slopes, the lower parts of the trails lead through wooded areas. Those staying in the district of Trepalle can get to their hotel directly on skis. Mottolino is an area very popular among snowboarders – it offers a huge snow park with many attractions.

After skiing, Livigno offers visitors a multitude of duty-free shops with luxury clothing and accessories, as well as restaurants and bars offering drinks and meals at prices that are very attractive for alpine conditions. It’s worth booking an afternoon trip to the historic Bagni Vecchi in Bormio - thermal water sources carved in rock. Driving by car in winter takes approx. an hour each way.
