Skiing
Skiing, one word for many different styles. The great thing? In Livigno you can practice and enjoy all the nuances of this wonderful sport! Let's start with a great classic: downhill skiing, which, if you stay at our hotel, you can practice by taking advantage of the proximity to the Carosello 3000 lifts. In Livigno you will find numerous ski schools ready to teach you all the secrets of this sport and pass on all their passion. Cross-country skiing, then, with its 30 km of track is another ace in the hole for the beautiful Livigno, which offers a sunny track suitable for both professional and amateur athletes. Snowboarding and Freeriding for adrenaline lovers can only accompany! Ski mountaineering is the perfect alternative for those who, in addition to mastering the descent, love the exertion of exploratory climbing. And if you are a lover of free-heel skiing? Don't worry, in Livigno there is also room for Telemark!
Family
Little Tibet also offers many alternatives for a family holiday! In addition to skiing, which certainly scores points when practised in company, there are many other activities. One example is snowshoeing: you can choose from the many trails in Livigno and, depending on the level and difficulty of the route, you will reach simply splendid places. If you're looking for a new and exciting experience, dog sledding is for you: at the Husky Village in Arnoga you'll have the opportunity to enter nature driving a Husky sled or to travel around Livigno in a horse-drawn sleigh! For your children, then, Lupigno is ideal: with its Kinder Club and Kinder Park, it is a place where they can play together, entertained by specially organised activities and supervised by experienced animators!
Excursions
Livigno offers many paths and trails of varying difficulty and length, which are ideal for your excursions. There are a thousand ways to walk the paths of Little Tibet, and we present them you all. Let's start with snowshoes, a great way to reach places with breathtaking views, even in the middle of winter! They are very easy to use and within everyone's reach, for a beautiful walk in nature. Ski touring is an excellent alternative, and here too, the variety of the routes will surprise you. Ideal for those who are already familiar with downhill skiing and, once the sealskins are off, feel ready to face the descent without fear. An absolute novelty in recent years are fat bikes, bicycles with “big” wheels that allow you to explore snowy forests, descend the wildest slopes and pedal over 20km of track: sensational.
Thermal Baths
Livigno is not only sport, it’s also wellness! Aquagranda is one of the largest centres in Europe and is a perfect mix of relaxation, sport and fun. The Wellness & Relax area of Aquagranda is equipped with saunas, treatments, special courses, massages and swimming pools, specially designed to cuddle you and make you unplug from everyday stress and problems, giving you a moment of pleasure all of your own, perhaps after a good day's skiing. A few kilometres away from Livigno you can take advantage of the three spas of Bormio: Bormio Terme, in the town centre, with a wide range of pampering and treatments, and Bagni Vecchi and Bagni Nuovi, with both outdoor and indoor pools, belonging to the QC Terme group, have made relaxation and wellness their business.

Fun
Livigno is pure fun: besides sport and relaxation, it’s the air you breathe that puts you in a good mood.

We are waiting for you, guaranteed fun.
