Livigno was strongly affected in the past by an economic crisis partly due to its geographical position that kept it isolated from the rest of Italy, however over the centuries it grew quickly and the local population appeared to benefit from the opportunities provided by the tourism industry. Today it offers wonderful landscapes, a wide variety of well-maintened resorts and ski centers recognized not only for their state-of-the-art equipments, but also for their high quality services that guarantee dream holidays. Thanks to its altitude, rarely Livigno suffers from a lack of snow, however, in case of scarce snowfall, snow on ski slopes is always guaranteed by an artificial and a perfect snow system; the trails, here surrounded by a breathtaking mountain scenery, offer a range of skiing difficulty levels really suitable for beginners as well as advanced skiers, training institutions moreover provide adequate support in skiing techniques. Livigno is an unique and wonderful place from all points of view: ski resorts, baby clubs, bars, restaurants, hotels, chalets, apartments, discos, SPAs, traditional cuisine and enchanting landscapes will offer the ideal conditions for spending unforgettable holidays...
Livigno is not only snow and ski slopes, in spring and summer it turns into a territory particularly rich in natural and fascinating beauties, hidden treasures and sites of cultural interest, walking or trotting along this natural setting makes it a magical place to ride, explore and discover.
