Livigno, Italy’s tax-free ski resort in northern Lombardy, is opening its cross country ski track. With snow falls and low temperatures, the three kilometre freestyle track is already available for warm-up sessions and training before the real ski season starts.

Livigno’s ski season traditionally starts every year with the famous “Sgambeda” cross-country ski festival, now in its 20th edition, and this year the slopes should open on December 11. For children there is the “Minisgambeda” event.
