TRACK&FIELD : WORK IN PROGRESS

The works for the new Track And Field just started in Livigno.


The new Track&Field will be located in the Aquagranda area and will be ready for summer 2018. Another important piece to make the resort of High Valtellina a real Olympic training center. Livigno, that few weeks ago was awarded with the title "European Town of Sport 2019" from the Aces Europe, will be officially honored with this title on October 30 at the "Salone d'Onore" at the Coni Center in Rome, and will become a place where you can train at 360 degrees with all the advanteges of high altitude training.

"It was a project that we were pursuing since many years - says Vice-Mayor Remo Galli - a further step forward to make Livigno a place with a strong sporting vocation. Fidal athletes will have the opportunity to train here, like are already doing Federica Pellegrini, Dorothea Wierer and many other athletes. Athletes of various disciplines will also be able to do physical and athletic training taking advantage of Aquagranda and the Track-and-field. "

"I am very pleased that the works of the Track-and-Field started," said Luca Moretti CEO of Tourism Board Livigno, "because this will give us great opportunities to attract more and more athletes who need to train taking advantage of the High Altitude Training. With Aquagranda and the Track-and-Field, Livigno becomes an important sport center and I think it will also be a key point for a tourist development of a target close to sport and active holiday. Here in Livigno the tourist can train alongside the great champions of the sport ".

"This is a great news for us athletes," said Silvia Salis, Olympic Atlethe and Federal Conseilour of Fidal, "to be able to train at high altitude is certainly an advantage." Congrats to Livigno and its managers.
