Livigno (1816m) is a year-round Alpine skiing destination and one of the main winter resorts in the Alps and a perfect venue for anyone wanting to ski in Livigno. It is a very picturesque village in Alta Valtellina on the border with Switzerland. Beautifully nestled between the Stelvio and Swiss National Parks, it stretches 15Km along an Alpine valley surrounded by two mountain ranges rolling gently from 3000 m down to the village.
Livigno is the most northern town of Lombardy, and one of its hamlets, Trepalle, is located at 2250m above sea level making it the highest permanently inhabited town in Europe.
This peculiar geographical position, together with its high altitudes, makes Livigno a winter paradise with heavy snowfalls from late November until early May. An extensive network of snow making facilities, covering up to 70% of the terrain, ensures that the ski areas always retain perfect conditions.
The village is also well known for his long main street lined with traditional houses made from wood and stone. In fact, Livigno has been carefully modernised without compromising the pristine surroundings and maintaining its traditions and architecture.
