Written by Livigno | 08 July 2021

Always attentive to sustainability and to the development of committed projects, Livigno teams up with travellers and launches the Plogging, the new frontier of trekking that rewards the greenest guests by combining personal well-being with respect for the environment.

The beauty and the care of Livigno's territory and its landscapes has become over the years a priority of everyone, not only of its inhabitants. With the mission of safeguarding the environment and at the same time promote an active tourism in tune with the planet, Livigno launches the Plogging: the trekking that is good for nature.

From July 9th to September 26th, guests will be able to enjoy hiking, running, mountain biking, as well as a simple walk in the open air and in the meantime, collect the waste that is found along the way. To take part in this project, just ask one of the 26 active structures in Livigno both hotels and apartments, or at the tourist information centers, a kit for the collection of waste consisting of backpack, pliers, trekking poles and bag.


The waste captured during the walk will be delivered at the end of the day at the information office of Pláza Plachéda in Saroch street, here you will have to scan the QR code on the trash box and enter your data, the luckiest will have the opportunity to win the rich prizes.

For the most committed ploggers, in fact, the prize lottery includes two summer weekends of 2 days and 1 night in Livigno for two people, 2 ski passes for 10 days for the winter season 2021-2022, and 4 Aquagranda Experience tickets at Aquagranda Active You!

The Plogging is an initiative aimed at everyone, which confirms the will of the Little Tibet to do team with its guests and inhabitants to achieve a common goal, through a small gesture. With the use of technology, Livigno also encourages a tourism made of virtuous behaviors that gratify the greenest guests.

With its 3,200 km of trails that cross the valley, the Little Tibet is the ideal place to experience a green stay dedicated to sport and wellness. Plogging is not the only initiative undertaken by the resort to safeguard the nature of its mountains, from 2019 in fact Livigno is a "plastic free" municipality with the obligation to use alternatives to plastic within public facilities and all accommodation activities. A direction in which Small Tibet will continue to move in view of the next Olympics, the first "green" of history thanks to sustainable investments in terms of social, economic and environmental impact, with the utmost respect for nature.

The commitment of the resort in confirming itself as a true green jewel does not end here: already last year, in fact, Livigno put five Repower PALINA into operation, thanks to the partnership with Repower. The columns for electric bikes have been positioned along the bike path and in some trails.

In order to reduce the pollution caused by the frequent passage of cars in the valley, the resort offers a public and free connection service between the different areas of the country: in fact, two bus lines are available in the summer period, which become four in the winter period, and during the whole year there is a free transport service that connects Livigno to Trepalle.

Thanks to these initiatives, combined with the great offer of nature trails and activities dedicated to a wide public of sportsmen, amateurs and families, Piccolo Tibet confirms itself as the temple of outdoor activities for a slow tourism in tune with nature.
