Recognition for the focus on outdoor activities.
In Alta Valtellina to practice outdoor sports. An area of enormous landscape interest and revalued to be fully functional from the point of view of physical activity. With this in mind Livigno was proclaimed the European City of Sport 2019.
A prestigious award, achieved thanks to a series of services offered to tourists, activities and a wide range of facilities made available to those who want to spend a different kind of holiday.
Livigno is known to sportsmen and women as the 'toyland' of high-altitude training, right in the middle of the Italian Alps.
Attention to the constant updating of accommodation facilities and continuous programmes dedicated to young people have enabled the success of this town in terms of tourism and sport.
When one thinks of Livigno, one generally has an idea of a purely winter holiday, but the summer, outdoor and indoor activities have allowed this municipality to make headlines for an exclusive award, recognised throughout Europe.
'Sport is of fundamental importance to us,' Damiano Bormolini told ANSA, Mayor of Livigno - we are honoured to have received this recognition at European level, which is also the result of our daily efforts to make the destination accessible to all.
We are happy to see how passionate young people are and how sport can also be an educational tool. The municipality is continuing to engage in actions that will structurally expand Livigno's sports offer'.
