Cross-country skiing
IN THE NATURE OF LIVIGNO
Some call Livigno 'little Tibet', because of the vastness of the plain framed by forests that rise to over 2,000 metres. When this expanse of green turns white in winter, it becomes a small paradise for cross-country skiers.
Originating in Norway, cross-country skiing was the easiest way to get around in the snow or go hunting. Cross-country skiing is at home in Livigno: at one time, it was normal to move around the valley with skis on your feet, and today many tourists come here for a skiing holiday or a day's skiing. And for more than 30 years, the great cross-country skiing season has opened in Livigno with La Sgambeda, a granfondo classic in which amateurs and professionals take part.
Technical Cross-Country Ski ring: Opening Saturday, October 26, 2024"
Autumn technical ring: cross-country skiing in Livigno starts in October
Enthusiasts know this, and wait until October to come here. It is now a tradition that Livigno anticipates the cross-country skiing season with the opening of the autumn technical ring in October.
Made with snow stored during the summer thanks to the Snowfarm, it allows sports teams to train and cross-country enthusiasts to put on their skis already in the autumn.
