On December 5, the tree-lighting ceremony is scheduled, dressed in Milano Cortina 2026 colors: a new step toward the start of the Games.
In Livigno, light is never just light: it’s a signal, a collective gesture, a creative way to express who we are. And this year, more than ever, the lighting of the tree in Piazza della Chiesa di Santa Maria—scheduled for Friday, December 5—becomes a powerful symbol of the path that leads us to the 2026 Winter Olympic Games. A ritual that officially opens the most eagerly awaited winter ever, transforming the heart of the village into a stage filled with emotion and shared participation.
The ceremony will begin at 5:00 p.m. with a parade starting from Piazza del Comune and making its way to Piazza della Chiesa. Leading the procession will be the official Mascots of the 2026 Olympic Games, the Livigno Folkloric Group, and the young athletes of the Sporting Club Livigno: a perfect blend of tradition, sport, and future that reflects the true spirit of the village.
At 5:30 p.m., the arrival in the square—welcomed by Mayor Remo Galli and several athletes from the Livigno Team—will mark the start of the main moment: the lighting of the tree, dressed for the occasion in the colors of Milano Cortina 2026, just about two months before the beginning of the Games.
A simple gesture, yet rich in symbolic meaning: a light that switches on to recall that of the Olympic torch, which will arrive in the village on January 30, ushering in the atmosphere of the Five Rings that in February will light up the mountains of Livigno, the elite stage for freestyle and snowboard. A spark that becomes a bridge, a promise, a vision: Livigno, which has been working for years with care and attention to detail for its future, thus inaugurates a winter that will be remembered in history.
As the reflections of the tree play against the white of the snow, one message will be clear to both residents and visitors: the Olympics are no longer a distant appointment, but a horizon that is quickly approaching. And every shared moment, every renewed tradition, every collective gesture reminds us that the journey has begun—and that the destination is truly extraordinary.
Because in Livigno, winter doesn’t just light up: it comes to life. And this year, more than ever, it will shine with the glow of the Five Rings.
