Alpine cuisine with a touch of the south
The cuisine of Lombardy is rich and hearty - a typical Alpine cuisine, which is occasionally influenced by the south of Italy. Ossobuco a la Milanese has made it onto the menus of the entire region from Milan - veal shank served with risotto. It is considered a classic of Lombard cuisine. Tasty freshwater fish come from the mountain lakes. The numerous traditional sausages from the region are omnipresent. Bresaola is an air-dried beef ham. Bastardei are small raw sausages made from pork and beef. Borzat or Borsat is made from sheep meat - a specialty from the municipality of Livigno. Occasionally, sausages made from goat and horse meat can also be found on the menus. The region is an excellent wine-growing area. An autochthonous grape variety, which produces great wines such as Barolo and Barbaresco in
Piedmont, is also represented in Lombardy - alongside Chardonnay, Trebbiano, and Pinot Blanc. Outstanding sparkling wines come from the Franciacorta wine-growing area. And south of
Lake Garda lies the Lugana wine-growing area near
Sirmione with excellent fresh fruity white wines made from Trebbiano di Lugana. Explore the restaurants of the resort and enjoy the culinary dream of the surroundings of Monte di Foscagno.

The long cold winter makes Livigno a perfect winter destination with excellent infrastructure. 33 ski lifts can transport over 34,000 people per hour. More than 115 kilometers of downhill slopes and 40 kilometers of cross-country ski trails are available. Snowshoe hikes allow you to experience the white nature off the slopes.

Cultural history, churches, and lots of nature
In 2015, Livigno's largest attraction opened its doors - the MUS!Museo di Livigno e Trepalle. The ethnographic exhibition documents the cultural and historical development of the Livigno and Trepalle region. The museum is housed in a historic building from the end of the 18th century. Among the exhibits are a room for milk processing and a typical kitchen (Sc'tua) with a heating room (Cendré). The village's parish church, Santa Maria Nascente, dates back to the 19th century. In addition, there are ten other small churches and chapels to explore in the area around your holiday home in Livigno. Speaking of hiking - the Stelvio National Park (Parco Nazionale dello Stelvio) with its breathtaking nature borders Livigno. Here, for example, golden eagles can be observed. Book a holiday accommodation or a holiday home, an apartment, or a holiday apartment (FeWo) with a balcony, modern facilities, Wi-Fi, and in the best location and enjoy your holidays with family and pets in one of the most beautiful regions of Italy - Sondrio.
