Ski Holidays in Livigno

Livigno’s fast climbing the ladder of Europe’s favourite resorts... and rightly so. We love the snow sure skiing, world class terrain parks and tax-free pricetag of après and shopping, not to mention the mountain charm you’d expect from a resort rubbing shoulders with St Moritz and the delectable food you’d expect anywhere in Italy.

Previously voted 'Best European Resort' at the World Snow Awards, Livigno is a snow-sure mountain town, much loved by skiers from Europe and beyond. Stretching 10km along the Spöl valley with mountains on either side and bordering Switzerland's famous ski classic St Moritz, this is a place you'll find authentic alpine charm in every nook and cranny with a friendly, cosmopolitan atmosphere.

It's not just the high slopes, and attractive village that makes Livigno so hugely popular – its tax-free status is a massive draw. You won't want to miss out on the huge open-air shopping centre, complete with over 250 shops, delis, boutiques and outlet stores. The après ski is some of the most affordable you'll find – a fraction of what you'd pay over in St Moritz with a pint costing as little as 4€ in some bars and giving you change for a pound in most supermarkets. The town is home to many restaurants, serving nonna's favourite recipes and terrific cheese fondues thanks to the local Swiss influence.

If you decide to travel by train from the airport, travel to the Swiss-Italian station of Tirano, where local bus services will take care of the journey's last leg. As well as all the fine places to eat and drink, Livigno has one of the largest leisure centres in Europe, Aquagranda. Families will love the Slide&Fun waterpark, adults will enjoy the Wellness&Relax space, whilst fitness-lovers can keep up the training in the Fitness&Pool area.

Due to its fantastic geographical location, Livigno's ski season usually starts in late November and runs through to early May. The ski area covers the mountains on either side of the town. The 32 lifts service the intertwining-spaghetti-like blue, red and black ski runs. Topped off with the legendary and widely acclaimed Mottolino snow park. If you have the Livigno pass for more than 3 days, you can ski one day in Upper Engadine if you fancy exploring St Moritz.

The nearest airport to Livigno is Milan / Milano at 220 km or about 5 hours by car.

What is Livigno like for Beginner skiers?

Gentle blues can be accessed from resort height, so beginners won’t be heading up any mountains without getting a feel for the snow first. Short blue runs served by draglifts from the resort fringes are great for practising before you tackle the longer blues from Vletta Blessacia later on. Various schools like Centrale offer various lessons - from playtime tuition for tots to freestyle sessions if you want to crank things up a bit. Kids will love the Yepi trail, which is dedicated to little legs with obstacles and toys.

What is Livigno like for Intermediate skiers?

Livigno serves up a generous helping of intermediate terrain; most reds are set to the west of the piste map from the Il Mottolino and Mount Sponda lift drop-offs. Head over to the east side for longer challenges from the likes of the Lago Salin lift.

What is Livigno like for Advanced skiers?

Experts will find their fair share of thrills in the enduring black drops. Della Neve and Vetta Blessaccia descend from vertigo-inspiring heights of 2785m and 2796m.

What is Livigno like for snowboarding?

The legendary Mottolino park has hosted the Burton European Open and won various Oscars in the Snowpark awards, including most recently in 2018 when it secured 3 titles at the ‘Skipass Modena Awards’; here you’ll find an XL area for pro’s as well as a large, medium and small area – all in superb condition thanks to Mino and his team. The Pernice ski slope is also on the Mottolino side. Park 3000 has jumps, rails, Boarderzoo (animal-themed boardercross) and Boarder Banzai (slightly more serious boardercross). The Burton inspired Woodpark (by the Zuelli slope) is a challenging hidden freestyle trail with ungroomed obstacles.

What is Livigno like for off-piste skiing?

For off-piste, look to the sunny side of Costaccia and if you’re all about the pow, get knee-deep in Il Mottolino’s fluffy, shaded snow. You also have the chance to reach some untouched powder by helicopter if you want to carve your name into the mountain.

What is Livigno like for cross country skiing?

30km of tracks to explore, groomed from the beginning of the season.

Livigno Restaurants

Continue the stylish theme for the night at award-winning Mattihas’s Chalet Ristorante Gourmet, where its dipped lighting creates the perfect atmosphere for a romantic meal out. For typical Valtellina dishes (think stag cutlet and heaps of cheese), all set in a traditional Alpine restaurant, La Pioda ticks all the boxes. For somewhere Italian through and through, Ristorante Bellavista is terrific for families. Sweet tooths will love Latteria where the gelato is some of the best you’ll ever taste.

Where to eat in Livigno and on the mountain

Livigno Après Ski

With low and cheerful prices when it comes to drinks thanks to Livigno’s duty-free prices, you’ll find some pretty amazing après ski. There’s always a party going down at the ever-popular Daphne’s Pub – a favourite with Brits for its authentic Baita interior, Irish-influenced après, super cocktail menu and legendary Bombardino beverage (you can’t say you’ve experienced Italian après without trying one of these). For a more sophisticated evening, pop into one of the hotels like la Casetta and soak up the views over the starlit mountaintops as you sip on a glass of fizzing Prosecco and nibble on antipasto platters. If you still have steam to let off, try the ever-favourite Milky’s Discoclub for a slightly crazy but very local vibe or head to the new kid on the block, Bivio Club for live DJ sets with contemporary music, both open until the early hours!

Livigno Activites for Non-skiers

Snowshoeing, snowmobiling and husky sledding are only a few of the things you can try here. A great place for its history, Livigno’s churches are well worth a visit, with the Santa Maria Nascente dating from 1300 AD. If you fancy a day off the slopes to let your aching muscles recuperate whilst keeping the divine mountain views, you’ll love the Bormio Thermal open-air baths.

Clothing Food & Souvenir Shops

Although Livigno has far more shops than any other resort of its size, everything is pretty much covered. It is known for the vast number of shops selling duty free goods at much lower prices than the 'duty free' you will find in airports around the world. There are other boutiques selling consumer goods, New Point on via Pienz is a good place to browse for smaller items and Foto Gino has a vast selection of hi fi equipment, binoculars, cameras, video cameras and cell phones and there are also fashion and jewellery stores.

Best Time to Visit Livigno

This is one of the best places to ski in Italy in terms of snow conditions, whatever time you plan to visit. With top altitudes of 2796m and heliskiing trips offering further heights to be explored, the tourist office boasts snow sure conditions throughout the ski season.

The slopes receive a little extra dusting at the hands of 100 snow canons if Mother Nature needs a helping hand during the beginning of the season, and northern facing mountains usually do a sterling job in preserving the white stuff later on. With school holidays being scheduled separately to ours, Livigno’s slopes should be less crowded than those of its European neighbours’ during peak weeks.

What's Livigno like at Christmas?

It’s all but guaranteed to be a white Christmas in Livigno! Get those chestnuts roasting at your chalet’s open fire and enjoy magical ski conditions all week long.

Livigno opens its doors to families for their perfect family getaway. Spend the week surrounded by beautiful sights, great ski facilities and an evening around a log fire in your chosen accommodation, together. If you’re thinking of staying in a hotel, our best family properties have crèches and kids clubs to provide an action-packed week for any little ones a bit shy of the skiing age. With games and snow activities planned, the rest of the clan can ski in the knowledge that your tots will be having just as amazing a time. Apartments are another good option for families who want the place to themselves – most are built slope side, with easy access to ski schools and lifts of a morning.

Come together in the afternoon for exciting activities in the way of snow tubing, snowmobiling and husky sledding- guaranteed to be a week you’ll all remember!

School holidays usually fall on a different week to Italian school holidays, meaning that a week off school spent in Livigno shouldn’t be too busy. Travel with our airport and transfer packages for kids who just can’t wait to get to the mountains! If you fancy a journey filled with singing and stop-offs at some breathtakingly beautiful European landmarks, our self-drive holidays may be more what your family have in mind – call our ski specialists for expert advice and easy booking.

Planning a group holiday with all your snow-loving friends? Livigno is great for skiers and boarders of all abilities: beginners can join the ski schools for some morning tips on scaling the mountains. Ski with the rest of your party of an afternoon, as you tackle some of the mountains’ higher challenges and get a little friendly competition going in the snowy playground found near ski run number 10.

If you’re a bunch of intermediates, you’ll be pleased to hear that over 50% of Livigno’s runs are classified red, so there’ll be plenty of routes for you and your amici to take. Advanced skiers and boarders will find the thrills they seek on the castle ‘Raffa’ jump structure and in Livigno’s heliskiing opportunity- leave your own mark on the mountaintops’ untouched snow. Don’t think you need to be leaving your non-skiing friends back in Britain: the Bormio Thermal baths facilities and a huge shopping centre mean they’ll be happily occupied while everyone else is on the slopes.

If you’re a group on a budget, apartments are a cheaper option, many are built slope side so that you can ski to your door and crash out together later on. Hotels work brilliantly for groups too, with rooms often available for stragglers to book later if they want to join the party.

Livigno is just great, there’s so much to ski. We’ve been there several times and it’s a very good place. You’re in a valley so you have two mountains to choose from.

I’ve been to Livigno a lot of times; it’s a well trodden path. I have two small children and it’s great for families, a nice place – it is what it is, it’s not contrived or posh and what they do, they do well. It just has a nice mix of skiing and is high – I’ve been coming here for 20 years and never... + more

It’s very scenic, particularly the journey there. To be honest, I probably wouldn’t go back. Main reason is that it’s a bit spread out. There’s two sides of the resort to choose from. There’s a lot of skiing, it’s a big area. The après ski isn’t as good as it used to be, although it’s not bad. I was so... + more

I tend to go here every year. I love Livigno! I keep coming back because it’s not too busy and they have good snow, even late in the year. We’re snowboarders and Livigno is absolutely brilliant for boarders. There’s a cool little board park (right by the San Giovanni Hotel), and there’s lots of good runs an... + more
