skiing Livigno - snow and shopping paradise!

The region Sondrio is found in Lombardy and astounds with its varied landscape. The panoramic view from the peak of the local range 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 and Valdisotto. Whether sport, culture, shopping or relaxation in the thermal oasis - guests get their money's worth in Sondrio. Livigno - snow and shopping paradise!

Livigno is located on the sun-drenched side of the Lombardy Alps, not far from St. Moritz. The popular resort is situated at a snow-sure 1,816 m, and hosts several international competitions; it is also known across its borders as a duty-free shopping paradise. The district Trepalle (1,900-2,250 m) is the highest permanently inhabited settlement in Europe. Traditional wooden houses dot the village, and the resorts location on the southern side of the Alps ensures that the valley is drenched with sun.
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 lodges for a bit of apres ski or look around some of the duty-free shops and enjoy tax-free shopping. In Livigno's duty-free zone, you'll be able to purchase not just perfume, alcohol and cigarettes (with restrictions on export), but also clothes, watches, cameras, and petrol at up to 40% savings! Prices are also reasonable near the slopes, meaning one thing: More holiday for less money!
