How these numbers are calculated
  • Powder day — at least 15cm of new snow in 24 hours.
  • Bluebird day — sunshine for at least 60% of daylight, following at least 10cm of snow over the previous 3 days.
  • Rain day — at least 1mm of rain (not snow) at this elevation.
  • Skiable day — at least 30cm of settled snow on the ground.
  • Snow depth is modelled from Open-Meteo / ERA5 reanalysis at 2307m, not measured at the resort. Use it to compare seasons and resorts; use the resort's own report for today's conditions.

Livigno snow record in detail

November is reliably the snowiest month, averaging 59cm and 10 days with fresh snow.

How deep does the snow get at Livigno?

Snowfall totals flatter resorts that lose their snow quickly, so the more useful number is how deep the settled base actually gets. At Livigno the snowpack peaks at an average of 160cm each season. That is well above average, deeper than 85% of 40 resorts we have analysed the same way, against a median peak of 84cm.

The base is deepest in March, averaging 126cm through the month and topping out around 142cm in a typical year.

How many powder days does Livigno get?

November has the most, 0.7 on average.

How often does Livigno get bluebird days?

Livigno averages 12 bluebird days a season — days of sunshine for at least 60% of daylight after 10cm or more of fresh snow. That is above average, more than 63% of 40 resorts we have analysed the same way, against a median of 10.

November is the best month for it, averaging 2.5 bluebird days and 6.1 hours of sunshine a day.

Does it rain at Livigno?

May is the wettest month of the season, with 7.5 rain days and 26mm on average.

When is the best time to ski or board Livigno, and when does the season end?

Livigno typically holds at least 30cm of settled snow from around 5 November through to 30 May, which works out at roughly 208 days of skiable cover in an average year. 185 of those fall inside the November to May season. On season length that is well above average compared with the 40 other resorts we have analysed the same way.

For the deepest base, go in March; for the most new snow, November; for fresh snow with sunshine, November.

Comparisons use 40 resorts across 18 countries, each measured over 5 recent seasons at mid-mountain height. Glaciated locations, where the model never melts the snow out, are excluded. Figures for Livigno are taken at 2307m. Corpus last rebuilt 2 September 2026.
