livigno in winter

What makes a holiday in Livigno so special?

There are lots of answers to that one question. 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 negligible... 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, served by excellent, fast moving chair lifts and cable cars which, this year, have been supplemented by a brand new cable car from Tagliede, for swift ascent to the top of the mountain. 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. There are scores of fabulous duty free shops in Livigno offering super bargains on everything from perfumes to top fashion, hi-tech to wines and spirits, making a trip to Livigno a shopping paradise. 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, 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 enough energy there are clubs and bars bursting with people from all around the world where the fun can continue until daylight dawns!
