On the 15th September 2019, in Livigno, the Mattias Association awaits the public for another event in memory of the Chef Mattias Peri: after "Sunrise Mattias" comes "A Mattias' dream", a gourmet dinner to be savored under the stars on the panoramic gondola of Carosello 3000.
It is not common that in the middle of August, in Italy, you can attend ski races or events on the real snow, but since the last years it has been happening in Livigno, right in the center of the town: also this year on the 23rd August, on the occasion of the two events "Palio delle Contrade" and "1kShot", the streets of Livigno will turn white, creating a 1 km of track of real snow.
Sport is love, passion, hard work, satisfaction, joy, emotion, like the one we are all experiencing just after the victory of Federica Pellegrini, of the rising star Simona Quadarella and multi-medal Gregorio Paltrinieri, the three great athletes who won the gold at the Gwangju World Cup in South Korea. Perhaps not everyone knows - so let's get it straight away - but Livigno feels particularly involved in these amazing victories because they were partly prepared in our town, where athletes feels like home and where they will return in the autumn to continue the preparation for the upcoming Tokyo 2020 Olympics.
Days are longer, temperature is mildly warmer and the Little Tibet welcomes its tourists dressed in the colors of summer. That Livigno is the perfect place for wellness and sports lovers is well known, but perhaps not everyone knows that it deserves a place in paradise also as regards one of the most relaxing activities that exist in the world: shopping!
It's 06:01 pm, and Livigno can officially feel the thrill of the Olympic dream. Indeed, has just concluded in Lausanne the conference in which the 86 members of the International Olympic Committee expressed their preference among the two candidate countries for the 2026 Winter Olympics: Italy and Sweden. Now we can say it: #DreamingTogether!
With 47 votes in favor of Italy, Milan-Cortina is confirmed as the site of the Winter Olympic Games in 2026, and Livigno will be part of this incredible project since it will host the Freestyle and Snowboard competitions, as well as the Olympic Village.
