The ski area

Livigno has 115 km of slopes spread over two sectors on either side of the valley: Mottolino and Carosello 3000. A free shuttle links the two sides. The terrain sits between 1,816 and 2,798 m and has a generous share of wide red runs, great for intermediates who want to practise without pressure. Beginners have quiet zones with magic carpets right by the village.

Livigno’s snow parks are among the best in Italy; Mottolino hosted the freestyle and snowboard events of the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics.

Who is Livigno for?

Livigno is an excellent choice for anyone who wants value for money: the lift pass is cheaper than in the big French and Austrian areas, and eating and drinking in the village is affordable. The village itself stretches for kilometres and is lively, with lots of shops, restaurants and bars. Families, groups of friends and snowboarders all feel at home here.

Practical

The distance from Belgium is the biggest hurdle. If you do not want to drive it in one go, plan a stopover in Switzerland or southern Germany. You can fly via Milan Bergamo, Innsbruck or Zurich, each with a three- to four-hour transfer.
