livigno in winter

Year after year Livigno has proved to be an irresistible magnet for Maltese winter sports enthusiasts and their families. What makes this particular resort so popular?

The answer to that question is really quite simple... Livigno is unique in many respects. Primarily Livigno enjoys a location which to a great extent guarantees excellent snow conditions. Livigno village is situated at 1800 metres above sea level, an altitude at which most European ski resorts stop, while the extremely well maintained and varied slopes on each side of the valley tower to 3000 metres giving what skiing fans refer to as a ‘snow sure’ environment. This in effect means that the slopes of Mottolino and Carosello (which overlook the village) offer first class skiing when other resorts are either very limited (or even closed).

Livigno as a winter holiday destination means that the risk element of ‘will there won’t there be enough snow?’ is eliminated... why take chances with your winter break which you’ve been looking forward to for the whole year? Visitors to Livigno can enjoy the fun that 115 km of well groomed pistes have to offer. The town of Livigno stretches along the valley, with a lake at one end and stunningly beautiful mountains on the other three sides. Its sheltered location plus hours of alpine winter sunshine inspire in guests a true feeling of being in a winter wonderland. The main street of the town is pedestrianised making it enjoyable and fun to just relax and soak up the atmosphere.

Maltese visitors receive a very special and genuine welcome from the people of Livigno who for over a decade have come to know many of YTC’s regular clients on a personal basis. Wherever you are in Livigno whether in the duty free shops (of which there are stores offering everything from drink to high tech electronics), one of the many bars and restaurants or just exploring the surprisingly large village... as soon as the locals realise that you are with Stellina from Malta you will see the smiles broaden and a welcome extended. For those with energy there are clubs and bars bursting with people from all around the world where the fun can continue until daylight dawns!

The location, the fantastic snow conditions, the duty free shopping, the first class bars and restaurants, the wonderful winter walks, the genuine warm welcome, the clean crisp fresh mountain air... all combine to create something unique- a winter holiday packed with happy memories... a winter holiday in Livigno!
