In town, prices are appreciably lower than at many major resorts (the resort is tax free), especially when you compare it to St Moritz over the border. But you don’t compromise on quality, much of the accommodation is of a high standard, the food is usually excellent and there are some good bars that can become lively on a sunny day – fuelled no doubt by very affordable drinks.
The west side of the valley is home to three excellent beginner zones, located on the sunny and gentle slopes on the edge of town. Progression from here is then very good, particularly at Costaccia and across the valley under the new chair at Mottolino. Long, open reds then dominate the rest of the piste map – particularly around Mt Sponda and the high point of the resort at Carosello 3000.
For more advanced skiers and snowboarders, there are some great steeper runs over at Mt. Delle Neve as well as some underrated freeriding terrain. The altitude and northeast aspect of the Mottolino slopes makes these prime for off piste and with a set of touring skins a local guide, there is some excellent terrain to explore. Anyone keen on freestyle will love the range of features set up on Mottolino each winter, which include some monster jumps.
The resort of Livigno is centred between the bases of the Mottolino and Costaccia access lifts. It is here where you’ll find the most conveniently located accommodation, the best choice of restaurants and the liveliest bars. The village then spreads along the valley, with several different hubs connected by a bus service.
Away from the mountain, Livigno is home to one of the best networks of cross country skiing trails in the Italian Alps – there are 30km in total, 5km of which are fully covered with snowmaking. There are some great fatbiking trails in the open valley and for bad weather days, the Aquagranda swimming pool complex is a great place to visit.
Livigno is located right up buy the Swiss border in a remote part of the Italian Alps. Getting here takes around four hours from both of Milan’s airports, as well as airports in Verona and Bergamo.
Dates for the 2023/24 season are still to be confirmed; the season at Livigno typically runs from early December to early May.

With the temperatures lowering over the weekend, more snow is set to fall over the Italian Alps, with about 20cm to 30cm due over Northern Italy. With a freezing line camping out at 1,500m there is a good chance this reaches lower slopes too, and this will only fall as the new week begins.
Flurries will continue as the new week begins, with the freezing line remaining at the same level helping preserve excellent skiing conditions for slopes above this mark.
