Accommodation in Livigno
Livigno
If you have ever found yourself staring at a piste map of the Italian Alps and wondered where that high-altitude, sun-drenched valley tucked away near the Swiss border is, let us introduce you to Livigno.
Known affectionately as Little Tibet due to its remote, high-altitude setting, this resort is something of a unicorn in the skiing world. It combines the reliable snow of a high-altitude glacier with the tax-free status of a duty-free port, all wrapped up in that effortless Italian charm.
With the eyes of the world turning to the resort as a primary host for the Milano Cortina Winter Olympics, the village has never looked better. Whether you’re here for the Olympic-standard snow parks or just the lure of a duty-free Aperol Spritz, finding the right base is the first step to a perfect trip.
And the ski area itself is impressive, offering over 71 miles of groomed slopes. These are split across two distinct mountainsides: Mottolino and Carosello 3000. Because the resort lies in a valley running north-to-south, you can effectively follow the sun all day, skiing one side in the morning and hopping across to the other for the afternoon rays.
Choosing your Livigno ski accommodation
Livigno is a long resort. It stretches for several miles along the valley floor, which means where you stay will significantly dictate your daily routine. The village has effectively grown out of three original hamlets - San Antonio, San Rocco, and Santa Maria - which have now merged into one seamless, alpine strip.
At the southern end of the valley, San Rocco serves as the gateway to the Carosello 3000 side of the mountain and has a distinctly skier-centric energy, with some of the resort’s most famous après-ski bars and lightning-fast access to the main gondolas, while Teola, perched on the hillside above the valley, is the place to be if you want sweeping views and quick access to the Mottolino fun mountain and its world-class snow park - the walk down is steeper, but the panoramic reward is more than worth it - and although the resort stretches out more than you might expect, getting around is brilliantly simple thanks to the free shuttle bus network running constantly from around 7:30am to 8:00pm, meaning you’re rarely more than a mile from a major lift and can comfortably forget about hiring a car once you arrive.
Residences ({{resort.residences.length}})
Ski Apartments in Livigno
For many British skiers, the self-catered apartment is the gold standard for a Livigno holiday. There is something uniquely satisfying about having your own ‘base camp’ where you can dictate the pace of your morning.
The apartments in Livigno tend to be housed in traditional Baita - beautiful stone and timber buildings that look exactly how you’d imagine an Alpine retreat should. Inside, you’ll usually find rustic wooden interiors, modern kitchenettes, and plenty of space for drying out damp gear.
Ski Chalets in Livigno
If you're travelling in a larger group or with another family, a self-catered ski chalet is the ultimate way to experience the resort.
These properties are often situated slightly further back from the main road, offering a quieter, more exclusive feel. Imagine coming back after a day on the Mottolino slopes, clicking off your skis, and heading into your own private living room to light the fire. Most chalets in the valley come with dedicated ski lockers and, in many cases, private saunas or hot tubs.
Choosing a chalet allows you to live like a local. You get the benefit of a standalone home with the flexibility to either cook in or head out and sample the town’s incredible pizza and pasta spots.
Ski Hotels in Livigno
If your definition of a proper holiday includes zero bed-making and professionally handled breakfast, Livigno’s hotel scene is about to become your personality. Hospitality here is classic Italian - warm, generous, and deeply serious about food - with most hotels being family-run, which means you get genuine care instead of corporate vibes, whether you choose a cosy Garni (bed and breakfast) or a 4-star superior hotel that comfortably goes toe-to-toe with the Alps’ heavy hitters, and many visitors wisely opt for Half Board, bundling breakfast and dinner into one gloriously efficient budget move that delivers multi-course feasts packed with Valtellinese favourites like pizzoccheri (buckwheat pasta, greens, potatoes, and heroic amounts of cheese) and local venison.
And then there’s the recovery game; with most 3 and 4-star hotels now boasting impressive spa zones where steam rooms, heated indoor pools, and general alpine bliss undo the damage of 15–20 mile ski days, while some places go the extra mile with outdoor hot tubs that let you watch the sun melt into the peaks as the temperature drops around you, which is about as close to perfection as ski boots will allow.
