10 Day Livigno-Dolomite Ski Holiday

Guided ski trips to Italy​ Nordic Ski Adventures
Perfect cross country ski trails Italy

We begin our Livigno and Dolomite Ski Holiday by spending four days exploring the many kilometres of ski trails in and around the village of Livigno, situated up near the Swiss border.

Because of its geographic situation, at 1800m above sea level and tucked under the Swiss Alps, it regularly receives early snow, and the locals call Livigno “Little Tibet”. If there is one place that may provide reliable snow in Italy, then Livigno is it.

There is over 33 kilometres of cross country skiing to be had or there is the downhill ski slopes you can access from our hotel. You will also experience the culture, hospitality and cuisines of this part of Italy as we stay in small family run 3-4 star hotels. After a few days we transfer to the Dolomites, via Switzerland. Our base for the remainder of the trip is in the Val di Casies. The picturesque village of St. Martin and neighbouring valleys provide approximately 300kms of trails to choose from.

If downhill skiing is your preferred mode of skiing, then this is possible at both villages, at Livigno itself and in Kronplatz. Kronplatz is rated as one of the top ski resorts in Italy and is only 15 minutes away from our hotel in St Martin. Lift tickets for downhill skiing are not included in your package.  See the exemplar itinerary below. 

As in all our trips, there is a possibility to mix and change the dates of departure, venues, accommodation, cross country/downhill skiing and length. Happy to discuss possibilities, so please contact me to discuss and individualize your ski trip.
