Livigno ski week cost 2026-27: ski pass, hire and lessons

When to go: the three price periods

In Livigno the ski pass has three prices, depending on the period. The 2026-27 season opens on 28 November 2026 and closes on 2 May 2027.

Christmas and New Year, and the whole of February and March, are high season. January after Epiphany is the normal period with the most snow and the fewest people; December before Christmas and April cost the least of all.

How much the ski pass costs

A single ski pass is valid for the whole ski area, Mottolino and Carosello 3000: 115 km of pistes and 31 lifts. These are the official 2026-27 prices, from the Skipass Livigno website:

The offers that save you money

• Baby Free: children born in 2019 or later get their ski pass free if an adult buys a ski pass of the same length. One child per adult.
• Junior: young people born in 2011 or later pay half, already included in the prices in the table.
• One4Family: a single ski pass for two parents with a child under 3. While one skis, the other stays with the child, and then they swap. It is valid from 6 days up and costs the same as an adult’s ski pass plus 20%.
• Skipass Free: from 28 November to 19 December 2026 and from 10 April to 2 May 2027 the ski pass is included if you book directly at least 5 nights in a hotel with 4 days of skiing, or 7 nights in an apartment with 6 days, in the participating properties.

How much ski hire costs

In Livigno the shops divide skis and snowboards by level: the higher the level, the newer and higher-performing the ski. Here is an average price list:

The helmet is extra: €8 a day, €30 for 6 days. The other shops’ prices, area by area, are in the guide to the best ski hire shops in Livigno.

Hire in Milan or in Livigno?

If you’re driving from Milan, you can hire in the city. According to an Altroconsumo survey from February 2026, the basic kit (skis, boots and helmet) for a week costs €110 in the city and €164 in Livigno, which is still the cheapest of the five resorts compared. Hiring on the spot saves you loading the skis and crossing the Foscagno pass with the equipment, and if a boot hurts you swap it straight away.

How much ski school costs

The group course is the cheapest choice for beginners: two hours a day for a week cost the same as three and a half hours of private lessons. For children, the morning courses leave their parents time to ski.

The sums: one person and a family

Two examples using the official 2026-27 ski pass prices, standard hire from the average price list and Galli Fedele’s group course. Accommodation, meals and travel are separate.

To get an idea of accommodation too: for Livigno, with seven nights in a three-star hotel or a B&B, a five-day ski pass and travel, Altroconsumo worked out €3,207 at New Year and €2,340 at Carnival in the 2025-26 season, ski hire and meals excluded.

How to spend less

1. Go at the start or the end of the season: the 6-day ski pass costs 31% less than in high season, and with 5 nights in a hotel booked directly it can be free.
2. Bring small children: anyone born in 2019 or later skis free with an adult.
3. Hire for your real level: expert skis cost 60% more than standard, and a beginner doesn’t need them.
4. Compare hire in the city: if you’re driving from Milan and staying a week, hiring in the city costs less.
5. Fill up in Livigno: it is outside the customs territory, and fuel costs less than in the rest of Italy.

Getting there from Milan

• By car: about 200-220 km and 3-4 hours, through Lecco, Sondrio, Tirano and Bormio, then the Foscagno pass (2,291 m), open all year. From 15 October to 30 April you need winter tyres or chains on board.
• From Switzerland: the Munt la Schera tunnel, single lane with alternating traffic, charges a toll. In 2026 it is closed for works from 26 October to 7 November.
• By train and coach: train from Milano Centrale to Tirano, then the coach to Bormio and Livigno.
• From the airports: the Livigno Express leaves from Malpensa and Orio al Serio every day, from Linate on Saturdays, from €65 each way, in about 4 hours 40.
