Livigno in brief

The village of Livigno is located in the province of Sondrio, the most northern province of the Lombardy region. The valley, in which Livigno is situated, is about 25 kilometres long and runs from the Bernina to the Stelvio, from the south-eastern Passo della Forcola (2.315 m) to the north-western Valico del Gallo (1.690 m), as the heart of the Rätische Alps.
The basin of Livigno, thanks to its dimension and its location, is unique in the Alps. Because it's situated on the northern part of the Alps, it's not part of the Danube basin, but it's part of the river Po basin. The river, running along the whole basin where Livigno is situated, is called Spöl (or Aqua Granda). The Spöl crosses the Swiss national park and runs into the Inn near Zernez in Switzerland.
