Livigno in June: What to Do and What’s Open
In June Livigno wakes up after the winter. The lake, the valley-floor trails and the centre are already open, while the summer lifts start again in mid-month: in 2026 Mottolino on 13 June, Carosello 3000 on the 20th. There are few people about and there may still be snow up high. Here is what to do and what you'll find open.
The weather in June
Livigno sits at almost 1,800 metres, and in June you notice it. Sunny days are already warm, but mornings and evenings are cool, and a few days of rain or cold are normal. Early in the month there is often still snow on the highest trails and peaks: for hikes up high, the second half of the month is better. On the valley floor, though, you can already walk and cycle without any trouble.
When the lifts and bike park open
The summer lifts start running again in mid-June. In 2026 the Mottolino Bike Park opened on 13 June and the Carosello 3000 cable car on 20 June, while the Sitas gondola, which leaves from the centre, only ran from 1 July. The dates change every year, so check them on the official Livigno or lift websites before you travel. If you want to get up high without effort, on foot or by bike, pick the second half of the month. For route ideas, see our guide to mountain biking, hiking and the lake.
The lake and quiet trails
Lake Livigno is the easiest place to start: the lakeside walk and the Sentiero dell'Acqua suit families and a first day after the journey. In June the valley-floor trails are almost empty, and you can walk for a long time meeting hardly anyone. With an e-bike you can also climb into the side valleys without effort: at Ironwood Livigno you can ask for e-bike hire together with your stay.
Meadows in flower
Once the snow retreats, the meadows in the valley turn green within days. Towards the end of June the flowers start to bloom, and they carry on into July: one of the easiest to spot is the yellow arnica you see in this article's photo. Many Alpine flowers are protected, so photograph them rather than picking them.
The Alpine passes reopen
The Foscagno Pass, the road up from Bormio, is open all year. The Forcola di Livigno, which leads into Switzerland towards the Bernina Pass, closes in winter and usually reopens in early June: in 2026 on 1 June. The Stelvio Pass, reached via Bormio, reopens between late May and early June depending on the snow; in 2026 it reopened in late May. On some summer days the Stelvio is closed to cars and left to cyclists. Always check that the road is open before you set off.
Events in June
June is when the races start again. In 2026 Livigno hosted ThreeLivigno, three days of running with a 10 km, a half marathon and a marathon (19–21 June), and the Granfondo Livigno Alé, a road-bike race over the Alpine passes finishing at Mottolino (27 June). In Bormio, early in the month, there is the Granfondo Stelvio Santini. The 2027 dates have not been published yet: check the events calendar on livigno.eu before you go.
Duty-free shopping in peace
Livigno is outside the customs territory: spirits, perfume and cosmetics cost less. In June the pedestrian centre is quiet and there are no queues in the shops. For what's worth buying, and how much you can take home, see our duty-free shopping guide.
What's still closed
In the first half of the month the lifts are not running and some mountain huts up high have not opened yet. In the village, too, a few hotels, restaurants and shops take a break between the winter and summer seasons and reopen during the month. If you know in advance it is not a problem: the centre, the lake and the lower trails are open anyway. For a rainy day there are the MUS! Museum of Livigno and Trepalle, the Livigno dairy and Aquagranda Active You, with pools and saunas (check the opening times, they can change at the start of the season). More ideas in our guide to what to see in Livigno.
What to pack
Layers, a warm jacket and a waterproof one, hiking shoes. The sun up high burns even when the air is cool: bring sun cream, sunglasses and a hat. If you plan to go above 2,000 metres early in the month, choose shoes that can cope with wet snow.
