But it is on the first level that the full potential of this structure is revealed. In a space of 200 square meters there is the Digital Cave, created for smartworking, gaming, streaming, video post production, bright and with a splendid view of the mountains. The Digital Cave is characterized by ultra-fast connection, modular meeting rooms, stations for online gaming, chat, information. Accessible by an elevator, it is an environment with a clean and essential design, ready to host professionals, entrepreneurs, tourists in smart working, as well as young athletes who want to have fun on digital platforms, share content and spend time together.

The innovation also concern catering, a central asset within a redevelopment project in an Olympic key. The new restaurant Kosmo Taste the Mountain - Livigno & AlpiNN, will provide a food offer based on the ethical philosophy Cook the Mountain of Norbert Niederkofler, chef three Michelin Stars and Stellaverde.

A vision focused on the use of local and seasonal ingredients, the reuse of waste and a personal relationship and close collaboration with local producers. The strategic direction of the new restaurant will be taken over by Mo-food, the holding company of the South Tyrolean chef Niederkofler and his partner Paolo Ferretti.
