What to see in and around Livigno during the summer: tours in Switzerland and Valtellina
Trip to the Engadine from Livigno
Livigno is a privileged gateway to the Engadine, the region of the Swiss Alps where St. Moritz and many other renowned resorts such as Sils, Samedan, Pontresina, Scuol and Zernez are located, as well as the Diavolezza and Lagalb ski areas and some famous peaks such as Piz Bernina and Diavolezza. The Lower Engadine day trip departing from Livigno in the morning reaches Swiss territory by skirting Lake Livigno and passing through the Munt La Schera tunnel, then skirting the course of the Inn River and stopping in Guarda, a picturesque Swiss village in the Scuol area of Mustair Valley with typical Engadine houses. The journey then continues to the Tarasp Vulpera Castle, a perfectly preserved medieval fortress dating back to the 11th century that stands atop a mighty rock outcrop and dominates the alpine valley. The return to Livigno is from the Venosta Valley via the Resia Pass, with a visit to Resia Lake made famous for its submerged bell tower that can be seen in the waters of the reservoir.
Hiking to the lakes of Cancano in the Stelvio National Park
Those who love nature and mountains simply must devote a day of their vacation in Livigno to visiting Stelvio National Park, one of the largest high-altitude parks in the Alps. From Livigno you can take a day trip to the Cancano lakes, a recent arrival stage of the Giro d’Italia, with two artificial reservoirs located in the Fraele valley near Bormio just below an altitude of 2,000 meters. From here there is an easy trekking route immersed in nature, with various viewpoints and opportunities to spot typical animals of these areas such as marmots and ibex, interspersed with a traditional lunch in a mountain chalet with Valtellina dishes and local cuisine.
Day trip from Livigno to Innsbruck
From Livigno you can visit Innsbruck in Austria in a day: the capital of the Tyrol is just over 2 1/2 hours away from Little Tibet and it awaits with splendid sights and attractions. Innsbruck in the summer is a verdant city that has great style. In the old town you can admire the Triumphal Arch commissioned by Maria Theresa of Habsburg, and discover the architectural evidence of a past that is full of contamination, as evidenced by the Golden Roof, and you can climb 130 steps to the top of the Civic Tower to admire the town from above. Less than 200 km from Livigno , it is therefore possible to experience a Central European atmosphere in an extraordinarily charming Alpine setting.
