Livigno
Livigno in Brief
The village of Livigno is located in the province of Sondrio, the most northern province of the Lombardy region. The valley, in which Livigno is situated, is about 25 kilometres long and runs from the Bernina to the Stelvio, from the south-eastern Passo della Forcola (2.315 m) to the north-western Valico del Gallo (1.690 m), as the heart of the Rätische Alps.
The basin of Livigno, thanks to its dimension and its location, is unique in the Alps. Because it's situated on the northern part of the Alps, it's not part of the Danube basin, but it's part of the river Po basin. The river, running along the whole basin where Livigno is situated, is called Spöl (or Aqua Granda). The Spöl crosses the Swiss national park and runs into the Inn near Zernez in Switzerland.
Livigno features two seasons: summer and winter, interrupted by two months of transition: May and October.
During the wintertime - generally from November to April - Livigno and its landscape are covered with a dry and glittering blanket of snow. That's why Livigno is one of the most renowned resorts in the Alps, for practicing all kinds of winter sport on the highest and most elegant level - Alpine ski, downhill, snowboarding, freestyle and telemark.
During the summertime - from June to September - the landscape is completely different: everything is glowing in a wonderful, thick green with coloured flowers and lots of conifers, growing up to 2.200 metres throughout the valley. What a wonderful contrast against the deep blue sky.....
