SKI MOUNTAINEERING LIVIGNO
The most beautiful routes to experience the mountains

Livigno is a sunny valley that offers you 150 kmq of backcountry territories, reachable only and exclusively with your own legs. Thanks to its 1816m of altitude, it offers one of the longest ski seasons of the year. In Livigno, ski mountaineering is practicable, for the most experienced and adventurous already from the first snowfall, as early as mid-November!

The trails listed below are all managed trails that can be travelled independently, with the obligation to use the self-rescue kit, this means the backpack with beacon, shovel and probe. These managed trails have the advantage of being marked with blue and orange poles positioned all along the entire trail, they are well-marked after each new snowfall, and are constantly monitored by our experts to allow you to enjoy the best experience.

We remind you that in the evening and at night it is forbidden to descent through the groomed ski slopes, as there are snowcats and winches in action.

For those who love ski mountaineering and want to experience to the fullest the offer that the town of Livigno can offer, we recommend some trails that can not miss in your ski excursions:

DESCHANA

The Deschana ski mountaineering trail is a medium-demanding trail with a difference in altitude of 500m, which starts from the Livigno Dairy and reaches Monte Crapene which offers a 360-degree view of Livigno. The trail, marked with orange and blue poles, starts from the Latteria di Livigno to continue in a beautiful wood of centuries-old larch trees which in a short time leads to a wide, well-marked slope up to the summit. Once you reach the top of Monte Crapene, you can decide whether to go off-piste from the ascent line, or by taking advantage of the groomed track of snowmobiles to reach the lovers' slope"at Mottolino to be able to descend in tranquillity. We advise you to reach the starting point with the free and public bus.
