Skiing Livigno - the snow and shopping paradise!

The region Sondrio is found in Lombardy and astounds with its varied landscape. The panorama view from the peak of the local mountains or the Forni glacier is very impressive. The many vineyards and the surrounding hillside area invite guests to take a romantic walk through the lovely winter landscape. Numerous nature reserves guarantee an impressive natural spectacle. Particularly lovely is the Stelvio National Park. Here, beneath the Ortler mountains and the "Alta Valtellina" ski area, three valleys meet: the Valdidentro, Valfurva with Santa Caterina, and Valdisotto. Livigno is known, above all, as a customs- and tax-free shopping paradise. Whether culture, sport or relaxation - guests get their money's worth in Sondrio. Livigno - the snow and shopping paradise!

Livigno is located on the sun-drenched side of the Lombardy Alps, not far from St. Moritz. The extremely snow-sure resort (1,816 m) is the host to several international competitions, but is also well-known as a duty-free shopping paradise. The broad pistes are always well prepared, and the gigantic snowpark offers boarders all that their hearts desire. After a day of skiing, relax in one of the cosy mountain huts or look around some of the duty-free shops. The district Trepalle (1,900-2,250 m) is the highest permanently inhabited settlement in Europe. Traditional wooden houses dot the village, and the position on the southern side of the Alps drench the valley with lots of sun. In the duty-free zone of Livigno you'll be able to purchase not just perfume, alcohol and cigarettes (with restrictions on export), but also clothes, watches, cameras, and gasoline at up to 40% savings! Prices are also reasonable near the slopes, meaning one thing: More holiday for less money!
