Livigno Ski Resort

One of the most popular ski resorts of Valtellina Livigno is probably more known as shopping Elorado. The prices are higher that used to be, but still the place is god for Sun Snow and Shopping.

Livigno obtained special tax privileges as early as in 16th century due to tough conditions the habitants were exposed in the high mountain settlement. The severe weather left its trace even in the name of the town, Livigno, which derives from old expression 'vinea et vinerola' which refers to the German word meaning ‘avalanche’, a constant danger in the area.
