In Livigno, you notice it right away: it’s a place that naturally works for families travelling with children. At 1,816 metres above sea level, with sunshine for much of the day, wide-open spaces and nature always close by, everything feels simple, spontaneous and effortless. There’s no need for elaborate plans here: just look around and you’ll find a pace that works for everyone, from the youngest to the oldest.

Walks That Turn Into Play
The 17-kilometre cycling and walking path is one of the highlights of a family summer in Livigno: it starts in the village, winds through meadows and alongside the river, with picnic areas and playgrounds along the way that turn every stretch into an opportunity for fun. Family-friendly trails leading towards the valleys — Federia, Alpisella and the higher-altitude areas accessible by lift — offer wide, well-marked routes that are perfect for easy walking, with scenery that changes at every turn. The lifts make it easy to gain altitude and start your walk higher up, before continuing on foot along gentle, panoramic trails. To find the experience that suits you best, explore Livigno’s family outdoor activities.



The Lake: Calm Waters, Family Adventures
Lake Livigno is where summer slows down and opens up. Its calm waters create the perfect natural setting for relaxed family moments: a shoreline for walking, playing, watching the changing light and enjoying a refreshing break between one trail and the next. It’s one of those places that can transform the day without the need for plans — simply by letting the lake work its magic, bringing a sense of calm, space and freedom.

Authentic Nature: Alpine Farms, Animals and Mountain Life
Livigno gives children the chance to experience nature in a genuine, hands-on way. Visiting the stables, milking cows on the alpine pastures, meeting calves and spending time on a mountain farm with local farmers are experiences that combine fun, discovery and tradition. It’s a simple, engaging way for children to learn where milk comes from, what life in the mountains is like, and how to respect animals and the natural environment.


Little Bikers in the Making
Cycling is part of Livigno’s identity, and children will find a world designed especially for them. At the Bike Skill Center, they can learn to ride without training wheels, tackle their first obstacles and discover mountain biking in a safe and fun environment. Weekly programmes combine time in the saddle with play, while e-bike trailers allow families with younger children to explore the trails together.



Larix Park and MyLivignoPass Adventures

Set among centuries-old larch trees, Larix Park remains one of the places children love most: a treetop adventure course of ropes, zip lines and suspended walkways that turns adventure into a safe and engaging game. Alongside this experience, MyLivignoPass activities offer even more ways to explore nature while staying active. With Track Detective, children learn to recognise animal footprints and other signs of wildlife; Little Scientist invites them to observe plants and lichens using portable microscopes; while The Great Mission becomes an outdoor challenge combining play, movement and discovery. Fun and engaging, these activities are perfect for turning the mountains into an adventure children will remember.

Aquagranda: Energy for Kids, Relaxation for Grown-Ups
After a day outdoors, Aquagranda is the perfect place to recharge. The Slide & Fun area, with its waterslides, water playgrounds and pools for little ones, is a paradise for children, while parents can unwind in whirlpools, saunas and wellness areas. In summer, there’s also the Spray Park, an outdoor space designed especially for younger children, with water games, fountains and soft-play areas that turn an afternoon into carefree fun. It’s one of the most comprehensive aquatic centres in the Alps — and it shows.



MUS! The Museum That Answers Children’s Questions
After visiting alpine farms and mountain pastures, children often start wondering what life here was like in the past. The answer can be found at MUS! — the Museum of Livigno and Trepalle, where visitors can step inside a traditional old house and discover what everyday Alpine life used to be like. It’s an educational, accessible and engaging experience.
