Livigno sits in a high, duty-free valley in Lombardy at 1,816 m, with skiing on both sides of the valley up to about 2,800 m. Its altitude makes it one of Italy's most snow-sure resorts, and its tax-free status keeps prices lower than in most of the Alps. The ski area is split between the Mottolino and Carosello 3000 sectors.
Tickets, passes and lessons are sold by the resort itself - we link, we don't resell.
