When you think of Livigno, your mind immediately wanders to snow-covered slopes. But there is an event capable of surprising everyone, even in the middle of summer: the Gara da li Contrada, one of the most beloved events for residents and guests alike, where tradition, sports, and fun come together in the heart of the village.
A One-of-a-Kind Event
On August 27th, the streets of Livigno transform into a special stage where all the residents from the 8 historic districts (contrade) compete in a spectacular ski race on a track set up right in the town center.
Thanks to the technique of Snowfarming, every year the town manages to preserve piles of natural snow accumulated during the last months of the winter season and reuse it as needed.
Imagine an atmosphere from days gone by: hundreds of Livigno locals, from the elderly to the little ones, parade in traditional costumes and then compete in an exciting cross-country ski race on a blanket of snow laid directly over the shopping streets.
Seeing local athletes defend the colors of their district is an experience that will go straight to your heart.
