The best hotels in Livigno

What are the best hotels in Livigno?

High in the Italian Alps, near the Swiss border, Livigno is a proper mountain escape, with snow-covered slopes, big alpine views and a long village packed with shops, cafes and restaurants. Its duty-free status makes shopping a bonus, while excellent skiing, hiking and cycling keep things lively beyond the winter season. For somewhere special to stay, Hotel Sonne is our favourite. It has the feel of a traditional chalet but with stylish, understated interiors, lovely natural materials and a fantastic spa. Add its slopeside location and eco-friendly credentials, and it’s a winner for a romantic mountain break.

The Best Places to Stay in Livigno

For Couples

• Hotel Sonne is a charmingly traditional chalet on the outside, yet a stylishly contemporary version of itself inside. Its 16 rooms and suites benefit from a traditional chalet’s use of natural wood and stone, and a preference for cosy rugs to snuggle into, but the overall effect is more rustic minimalism than gingerbread house. We particularly like the large bathrooms, the fantastic spa, and the fact that the whole hotel is heated using geothermal energy, so it’s got a zero carbon rating. It’s also right by the ski slopes.

For Families

• Hotel Amerikan is a welcoming eco-chalet just 500 metres from the Carosello cable car, and with wonderful alpine views. Its 39 rooms and suites come in an excellent variety of sizes and shapes, from Family Suites to triple and quadruple rooms, and all are memorably decorated with wood panelling and alpine murals. The spa has a great menu, as does the restaurant, which serves Valtellinese and Italian cuisine. There's also a pool and bike hire for the warmer months.

For a self catering apartment or chalet

• If you're travelling as a family or a group of friends it may be a better option to book a villa or apartment. For a wide range of properties for all tastes and budgets we recommend you visit our online partner, Booking.com.

Travel Information

• Livigno’s nearest international airports are Milan’s airports: Linate, Malpensa and Bergamo Airport. All about a three hour drive away. Livigno is fairly close to several major European train stations and lines too.
• If you plan to hire a car we recommend you visit our online partner Rentalcars.
• Livigno’s ski season can run from November to May, with January and February offering the best snow and quieter slopes. December is wonderfully festive, with twinkling lights and lively après-ski, though snow is less reliable. March and April bring sunnier skiing, outdoor dining and a buzzing après-ski scene. In summer, the mountains draw walkers, trekkers, mountain bikers and outdoor adventurers.
