Skiing in Livigno

On the border between Italy and Switzerland, approx. 40 kilometres from Bormio, lies the tax-free ski area of Livigno. Livigno is sometimes referred to as ‘Piccolo Tibet’ or Little Tibet, due to its cold climate and stunning mountains. Located in a remote spot high in the Alps, you’ll need to pack your thermals for this destination! Those willing to brave the cold however will be rewarded with excellent snow conditions, a long ski season, and beautiful, unspoilt nature.

This ski resort has lots to offer for both novice and experienced skiers and snowboarders. At Mottolino there is a half-pipe and a snow park for the snowboarders amongst us. Cross-country skiers and hikers can enjoy themselves there too. If you start your day in the Carosello 3000 side of the area before heading over to the Mottolino side in the afternoon, you can follow the sun across the valley and have great views all day long.

Hotels and apartments

With a wide range of accommodation to choose from, you can tailor your holiday to suit your wishes. The hotels and apartments in Livigno are built in a charming and traditional style. Many of them are located close to the slopes and ski lifts for easy access. A free ski bus also stops outside most of the popular hotels, so you can start skiing right away. Please note: the bus only runs during the day.

Off-piste activities

In addition to a fantastic area for skiing, you can also go shopping at more than 200 duty-free shops in Livigno. There are also a number of excellent restaurants in the area, where you shouldn’t miss out on the delicious Italian cuisine. Afterwards, why not visit one of the atmospheric après-ski bars in the resort?
