8 Day Livigno-Dolomite Ski Holiday
New for 2028 is our 8 day trip. In this trip one can get race ready for the Marcialonga World Loppet Race or just enjoy new friendships as you ski in Livigno and the amazing Dolomites.
We begin our Livigno and Dolomite Ski Holiday by exploring the many kilometres of ski trails in and around the village of Livigno, situated up near the Swiss border. Livigno is an ideal place to get race fit, as all the trails are of a higher altitude, starting at 1816 meters above sea level.
Because of its geographic situation, at 1816m 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 Seiser Alm, at 1800m. The picturesque plateau of Seiser Alm is Europe’s largest plateau and provides the cross country skier with 80kms of exquisite skiing.
If downhill skiing is your preferred mode of skiing, then this is possible at both venues, at Livigno and Val Gardena. Lift tickets for downhill skiing are not included in your package. See the exemplar itinerary detail for more details below.
For those interested in doing the Marcialonga race, whether that be the 32km, 45km or 70km race, please contact me early as race registrations open late June of the preceding year. Happy to discuss possibilities, so please contact me to discuss and individualize your ski trip.

If you are race training, then you can start at 1816m, and ski up the valley and meet the crew for lunch. Downhill skiing is also an option
With Livigno’s gentle and undulating ski trails, they are a delight to ski on and the views of the mountains as you ski the valley floor from 1800 to 2100m above sea level are stunning. Downhill skiing is also an option on both days 3 and 4.
On route and depending on weather and snow conditions we hope to ski along the way in Fuldera in Switzerland. Provides an excellent opportunity to stretch our legs on some delightful ski tracks. Don’t forget to try some of the home made soup of the day back at the trail head cafe.
Each day, weather dependent we will ski the high plateau of Seiser Alm at 1800m. Seiser Alm is Europe’s largest plateau and the XC skiing is fabulous. With over 80kms of trails, there is something for everyone. Some guests may wish to Alpine/telemark ski the alpine resorts on the plateau- (at your own expense).
We ski the plateau of Seiser Alm to access the trails. With the trails at 1700-2000m above sea level, the trails remain in extraordinary condition well into March.
After breakfast we depart for Canazei and drop off those who are racing in the Marcialonga World Loppet race. We have a ski around the top few kilometres of this famous circuit, before the rest of us head for Milan, where we say arrivederci.
