Valentine’s Day in Livigno: 5 ways to experience it in a special way

It seems like yesterday… the decorations, the lights that illuminated our eyes, not to mention the Christmas markets that gave us the possibility of purchasing wonderful gifts and tasting al the local specialities. We closed our eyes, and from one moment to the other, we have found ourselves catapulted in February, a step from the feast of the romantic love and from the occasion of living this special moment, hand in hand, through the white streets of Livigno.

It will be a perfect 14th of February for each couple, from the most active, to the couple that wishes to escape from the daily routine, spending free-minded days hiding out in our valley.

Valentine Relax

Password: switch of the phone and abolish the emails. Your time should be dedicated exclusively to pleasant and relaxing activities.

You can start the day with a romantic walk through the streets of the centre, surrounded by bars, restaurants and hundreds of shops of all kind of brands and genres, for a duty free shopping that gives you the opportunity to exchange really special gifts.

In the afternoon, the area Wellness&Relax of Aquagranda is waiting for you and besides pampering you with the sound of the water, it will make you experience the Aufguss, the ritual of the Nordic tradition that has changed the concept of sauna. try to imagine; while you start relaxing with the thematic music, the sauna master will create balls of ice impregnated with aromatic or balsamic essences that, poured into the brazier, will produce a hot jet of steam. Furthermore, with a kind of dance and the aid of a towel, the sauna master will increase the thermal stimulation regenerating your body and your mind.

Afterwards, romantic couple massage with Ylang Ylang essences - or sound message with Tibetan koshi and cymbal bells - and after that, you can spend time in the outdoor tub, savouring fruit, chocolate and toasting to your love with flutes of bubbles.

Obviously, it is not Valentine's Day without candlelights, and therefore,  the evening can be ended remaining in Aquagranda with a seafood dinner adding the pleasant memories of the wonderful day spent together.


Valentine Emotion

If you love skiing, but especially, if you want to experience unforgettable emotions, get carried away by the Sunrise Emotion, an experience that will start your day on the right foot and with a heart full of emotions.

Ready to challenge the dawn - the appointment will be at 7am at the cable car "Livigno - Tagliede - Costaccia" No. 25-27 in the center

you will ski on perfectly groomed slopes enjoying the pure air and welcoming the sun that from the East will wish you a good morning. And it’s not over here! At 8.30am, after one and a half hour of sport and nature, the Luxury Breakfast will wait for you at the mountain restaurant: breakfast of excellence, obviously to be enjoyed at high altitude.

Livigno seen from above gives indescribable sensations, and a tour on snowmobile at the top of the Eira Pass is one of the experiences to do if you want to experience truly unique moments. Arriving at Crap della Parè,

you will be able to reach one of the most scenic and suggestive points of the town; you will feel like touching the sky, and it will be wonderful not being able to distinguish the clouds from the snow. The cold and light air will caress your faces while Livigno, marvellous, will observe you from below, giving you the feeling that this is one of the best moments of your life. Describing this experience in words is practically impossible, so you just have to live it, maybe finishing the day with a dinner at the Snow Cave, the ice restaurant that seems to be part of a fairy tale. Entering the igloo, you will find a piano and a fireplace carved in the ice, chairs covered with soft fur and a table for 12 persons, where you can sip hot tea, wine, and taste the excellent Livignasca cuisine. What to say? The worthy conclusion of a day of a thousand emotions.

Valentine active

Is your an active couple and is relaxation for you the same as a continuous movement? Also, in this case, we have what is right for you.

Snowshoeing is one of the most popular activities among people who love direct contact with nature.

You can get the necessary equipment, renting it all in one of the many sports shops in town, and then choose the marked route (between Tea dal Brun panoramic, suitable for beginners, or the one in Val delle Mine, perfect for the fans of unspoiled nature). Needless to say; you will fully experience the majesty of the Livigno woods, making healthy and pleasant physical activity.

Cross-country skiing is an excellent alternative to snowshoeing, especially if you prefer freshly groomed tracks; 30 km of track, suitable both for beginners - who can make use of the valuable support of instructors - as for experts of the narrow skis who will have fun and challenge themselves on the most technical kilometers.

After such an "active" day you can abandon yourself to the pleasures of the table, and to continue in the wake of the day just passed, there will be nothing better than a dinner in a mountain hut, reachable both with snowshoes (like Tea da Memi and Ristoro Scialket) as with snowmobile (Tea da Cip & Ciop, Tea Borch) or choosing the snow cat (as in the case of the Planon Camanel).


Valentine adrenalin

If Indiana Johnes is your idol and you hold the poster of famous mountaineers in your bedroom, you desperately need a Valentine's day to put wings on it, but in the true sense of the word.

The two-seater paraglider flight will give you this opportunity.

Accompanied by an instructor, starting from the Carosello 3000, you will fly over the snowy peaks of the small Tibet, at hundreds of meters height, enjoying a panorama and an experience that will know how to take your breath away.

And after learning to fly, why not drive a car in extreme conditions? At the Livigno ice-ring we organize courses on the safe, sporty and competitive driving track.

At your side, even in this case, you will have an instructor who will follow you step by step, and you can not only enjoy driving, but also learn how to manage the car when the asphalt is not friendly.

In the streets of the center, in the evening, you will find many restaurants that will make you taste the best gourmet cuisine and, after dinner, you can end the day by adding a very special night to your experience.

Spending the night in the Snow Chalet means immersing yourself in a surreal atmosphere, at zero degrees, in a room totally sculpted in snow and ice, with references to the themes of the mountain - "Refuge in the woods" - or in that characterized by the atmosphere of the old Livigno - "Il Mulino della legna".

In both cases, the herbal tea and special thermal sleeping bags will heat you up and cuddle you when the outdoor temperature drops below zero. In short, a night “sui generis” that you will definitely always carry in your heart.

As you have probably deduced, the choice is vast, the experiences to do are numerous, the feelings you collect are not quantifiable.

It will be an active Saint Valentine’s, exciting, adrenaline or perhaps relaxing, but we have a conviction; the magical atmosphere of Livigno, will make a perfect setting for your unforgettable days.
