The beginning of the winter season speaks not only of adrenaline-pumping activities, but also of a time of year when tradition merges with Alpine enchantment: Christmas-before, during and after its arrival-transforms Livigno into a fairy-tale place, where fresh snow silently tints the landscape white and a warm atmosphere pervades the town, adorned with twinkling lights and enveloped in the typical scents of this period.

A combination of elements that make this small corner of the mountains the ideal destination for those seeking the authenticity and charm of the winter holidays. From Nov. 29 until Jan. 06, the Christmas magic comes to life with “Christmas in the Village”: the characteristic wooden cottages, arranged along the central street of the village, create a picturesque picture, inviting everyone - adults and children - to immerse themselves in an exciting atmosphere: tourists and citizens alike will be able to stroll among the stalls to discover unique handcrafted creations, savor typical local products and be enveloped by a warm feeling of tradition and welcome.
Playing in the background will be typical Christmas music that, thanks to piped-in music, will envelop the pedestrian center, conveying the true spirit of Christmas.

Right here, along the shopping street, you can find the perfect cadeaux to surprise your loved ones: in the more than 250 stores, exclusive and single-brand boutiques, but also local stores, you can find the right gift idea for everyone, ranging from fashion, beauty sport and hi-tech, both for her and for him.
To give moments of fun with friends and family, the ideal gift is the board game “Filon”, an original gift that brings with it the tradition of Livigno: it is available locally at Cartoleria 2+2, Studio Più Gioco, Bazar Longa and L'Artigiano at € 39,99.
For those who prefer to give experiences to remember, a number of experiences can be purchased on Livigno's website to immerse themselves in the resort's dynamic alpine soul.
Heli-skiing, for example, is the perfect gift for adrenaline junkies: it involves helicopter ascents of pristine mountains, from which freeriders-previously instructed on the information for carrying out the activity and accompanied by a UIAGM Mountain Guide-will then be able to launch themselves into thrilling off-piste descents. The cost is € 1,200 for up to four people.

It is also possible to give the gift of a scenic helicopter flight, available daily for groups of up to five people. This experience can provide unique thrills, allowing you to fly over the highest snow-capped peaks and surrounding valleys, and costs € 750 for a 15-minute flight (other durations are also available).
While ski enthusiasts will love being able to ski at sunrise: in fact, the Sitas Ski Area hosts the Sunrise Emotion & Luxury Breakfast every Tuesday from 07:00 to 09:30, an exclusive experience that allows skiers to enjoy the sunrise on freshly milled and pristine slopes, and then enjoy a delicious international breakfast at high altitude at the Costaccia Hut. The cost is € 45.00 per person.
