FAQs: Backcountry Skiing in Livigno

What should I know about Backcountry Skiing Livigno?

The alpine town of Livigno sits in the province of Sondrio in the region of Lombardy in the extreme north of Italy, close to the border with Switzerland. The traditional town rests at 1,816 meters above sea level. Its quality reputation has earned it the right to host some of the events (snowboarding and freestyle skiing) at the 2026 Winter Olympics.

Why should I choose Livigno for my Backcountry Skiing adventure?

Endless possibilities

Located in Lombardy in the Italian Alps, close to the border with Switzerland, the town of Livigno is completely surrounded by mountains. And the remote region means it has endless supplies of off-piste possibilities. From the steep slopes and excellent powder of Cima Blesaccia to the mountains of Monte della Neve, Livigno is an ideal springboard to explore the backcountry of the Italian Alps.
Easy alpine access
The Italian mountain town of Livigno is very well connected, with a network of modern facilities transporting people to the slopes. It’s not long before you escape any crowds on the lower slopes and head into the backcountry where the people are few and the fresh powder slopes many. The ease of access within the resort has helped to foster a quality reputation that is becoming a magnet for those seeking fresh tracks.
Perks in the mountains

Ever since the 16th century the town has gained from special duty-free privileges, making it highly attractive for bargain purchases. This quirk in local commerce came about because of the difficulty reaching Livigno in the winter months. A second incentive was that the local population struggled with systemic poverty, and so various states incentivize people to populate the area and thus lay claim to the territory.
