Livigno (SO)

Nestled between the majestic Rhaetian Alps, the Livigno valley is a true paradise for snow and mountain lovers.

 

Its unique exposure to the sun on both sides and its altitude of 1,816 meters give breathtaking views and a unique atmosphere, making it one of the most fascinating destinations to visit in winter.

A World-Class Skiing Area

With 115 km of perfectly groomed slopes, Livigno is among the world's most renowned ski resorts. It is no coincidence that it will host the freestyle and snowboard competitions at the Milan Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics. Here, every descent delivers unique thrills, with slopes suitable for every level, from beginner to expert in search of pure adrenaline.

Discovering the Village and its Traditions

In addition to skiing, Livigno offers the charm of a timeless village, where traces of the past are intertwined with modern life. An extraordinary example of this legacy is the MUS - Museum of Livigno and Trepalle, a place that allows visitors to immerse themselves in local history.

Visiting the MUS means crossing the threshold of a masonry and wooden house dating back to the late 1700s, once the home of the Silvestri-Bormolini family. Here, among cellars, hearths and wood-paneled rooms, one relives the daily life of Livigno's ancient inhabitants, long before tourism transformed the face of the valley.

A Unique Sensory Experience

Livigno is a place to experience with all the senses:

  • Listen to the sound of the wind caressing the mountains, giving different emotions between clear days and cloudy skies.
  • Admire the beauty of the bright white snow, enveloping the landscape in a shimmering embrace.
  • Skim the wooden surfaces of the old MUS kitchen, caressing the rough blankets on the beds that tell stories of a time long gone.
  • Smell the unmistakable scent of winter, made of fresh snow, wood burning in the shelters and warm dishes that invite conviviality.
  • Taste the authentic flavor of Bresaola della Valtellina IGP, the result of the tradition and craftsmanship that has made this product unique in the world.
