10 Day Livigno-Dolomite Ski Holiday
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.Â
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.Â

EXCELLENT Based on 15 reviews Malachy O2024-02-26Verified Nordic Ski Adventures put on the holiday of a lifetime. What a great ski holiday Nordic Ski Adventures put on for us. We turned up in Milan and Pete took care of the rest of the trip, travel, hotels, ski hire, lift tickets and even some of the evening meals. The two lodges we stayed in were just fabulous. I am so glad you took the time to find them for us. The ski days were catered to our level of expertise while pushing us to work hard and improve our skiing. Pete had a great knowledge of the resorts which made the trip even better. So thanks again Pete and I would not hesitate recommend Nordic Ski Adventures to anybody looking for great downhill skiing holiday. Add in fabulous scenery, all while immersed in the Italian culture and history. Thanks Pete.

Jody C2023-03-05Verified Amazing Nth Italy Ski trip with Nordic Ski Adventure I joined a group ski holiday in northern Italy, and loved every minute of it! The snow, trails, scenery and weather was amazing! Equally enjoyable was the fact that all of the research, planning and booking was done for me! The best ski locations, accommodation options, transport to a variety of locations - it was all provided. Pete, our guide was very knowledgeable about every aspect of our trip and offered lots of helpful advice. The skiing was like nothing I have experienced in Australia, and so it was great to have a whole new learning experience. I would totally recommend this trip, or any other customized trip, to anyone who loves to ski and experience life! Tim P2023-02-27Verified Love to do it again! Great skiing, great accommodation, great food, great host. I would do it all again. Pete knows his stuff and is happy to keep some flexibility in the itinerary. amanda s2023-02-07Verified Cross-country skiing in the Dolomites, Italy 11 days of exceptional skiing on well groomed trails, in a variety of ski areas including Livigno, Val Mustair (in Switzerland), Dobbiaco and St Cristina, stunning Dolomite scenery and a very well organised trip.Peter, from Nordic Ski Adventures, is a great guide with a thorough knowledge of the ski trail networks. He was able to provide advice on the best trails to ski for the varying skiing abilities within the group, the time available, the individuals choice of skis - skate or classic, rest stops along the way (ideal spots for lunch or a hot drink), public bus options for reaching new ski trails or ski out/bus back options and whether you wanted a big day of skiing or a more restful sight seeing day.I highly recommend Nordic Ski Adventures for a skiing holiday in the Dolomites. jennya9992023-01-23Verified Cross Country Skiers Dream Holiday I cannot recommend Nordic Ski Adventures highly enough! With a busy lifestyle it was a relief to be able to schedule a holiday and leave the logistics to Peter. Once we landed in Italy we didn’t have to worry about transport, finding the best ski trails or restaurants as Peter had this all under control as well as tips about where to eat and shop, leaving us more time to enjoy the magnificent skiing.We took the 12 day itinerary which was an excellent way to sample numerous resorts and terrain. Peter was always on top of the conditions and was flexible enough to offer alternatives if the intended resort didn’t have perfect conditions.With a diverse range of skiers in our group we didn’t always ski together and Peter always made sure that everyone had the information they needed to have a great day.Cross country skiing in Italy was incredible! No day was the same, every day we skied different trails with breathtaking scenery.Just do it - you won’t be disappointed!Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
