Gara Da Li Contrada

In the evening, the districts of Livigno put their skis on their feet and take to the slopes to challenge each other in a Nordic skiing competition in the middle of summer on a 1-kilometre track completely covered in snow. The people of Livigno dress in their old-fashioned clothes to ski the kilometre-long track and compete in a friendly and competitive atmosphere to win the race.

The “Gara da li Contrada” takes place on the same course as the 1K Shot, but in the opposite direction.
