San Rocco, Livigno: A Local Guide to the Area
San Rocco is the area in the southern part of Livigno where the Carosello 3000 cable car starts, about a 15-minute walk from the pedestrian centre. We are a Livigno family, our apartment is here on Via Saroch, and in this guide we describe the area as we live it: lifts, shops, buses, a little history and the summer.
The lifts: San Rocco, Doss 18 and Carosello 3000
Many people choose San Rocco for the lifts, and it is easy to see why. From our apartment the San Rocco ski lift is about 100 metres on foot and links on skis to Carosello 3000: you take it and you are already in the ski area. The Doss 18 ski lift is about 200 metres away. The Carosello 3000 cable car is about 400 metres away: in two sections it climbs from the village, at about 1,816 metres, to almost 3,000 metres.
One thing we want to be clear about: we are not on the slopes. In the morning you walk about a hundred metres in ski boots, in the evening you walk back, and your skis stay in the apartment's ski room. For slopes and ski passes see our guide to skiing at Carosello 3000; if you ski with children, have a look at the best slopes for families too.
Ski school and ski hire close by
About 50 metres from the apartment there is a ski school and a ski hire shop. That is handy on the first day, when you collect your equipment, and in the morning if you take children to lessons. Within a hundred metres or so there is more than one ski school, so you can choose.
Each school sets its own courses, times and prices: ask them directly and, in the busiest weeks, book early. If you like, we can help you work out who to contact before you arrive.
Groceries, shops and services
Here you do your shopping on foot. Right opposite the apartment there is a grocery shop, and there are two supermarkets, about 80 and 100 metres away. Within 70–100 metres you will find restaurants and bars, a greengrocer, clothes shops and a launderette.
On our own street there are two places we often mention to guests: My Wine, a wine shop and wine bar at Via Saroch 810, and Amazing 24, at Via Saroch 822, an automated shop with snacks, drinks and a self-service launderette. About 50 metres away there is also the café where breakfast is served on request (€15 per person per day, to be booked in advance).
The bus and the way into the centre
The bus stop is about 40 metres away, handy for getting around the village without a car. Routes and timetables change between summer and winter: you will find the current ones on Livigno's official website. On foot, the pedestrian centre with its duty-free shops is about 15 minutes away.
The apartment comes with a free parking space, so the car can stay put for the whole holiday. How to get here, by car or public transport, is explained in how to get to Livigno. If you are still deciding which part of the village to stay in, we have compared the areas in where to stay in Livigno.
A little history: the church of San Rocco
The church of San Rocco is also on Via Saroch. It is dedicated to Saints Rocco and Sebastian and was built between 1592 and 1624, the year it was consecrated; the bell tower came later, between 1640 and 1643. Inside you can still see the pillars and the presbytery, and above the altar there is the fresco of San Rocco painted by Torildo Conconi in 1958.
The tourist office also runs evening guided tours of the church: the dates are on livigno.eu. For other churches and places in the village, see our guide to what to see in Livigno.
San Rocco in summer
In summer the Carosello 3000 cable car runs again: in 2026 it was open from 20 June to 13 September, and the dates change every year. You go up on foot or with your bike, and at the top station there is the Carosello 3000 mountain hut. For hiking and cycling ideas, see our guide to mountain biking, hiking and the lake.
If you would rather stay low, the valley-floor trails can be reached without a car. We also have two e-bikes for hire on request (€35 per person per day): with them you can go a long way without much effort.
Our apartment on Via Saroch
Ironwood Livigno is at Via Saroch 767: a 90 m² apartment, renovated in 2022, with 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and room for up to 6 people. It has a private infrared sauna and steam bath, just for you, two balconies with mountain views, a fully equipped kitchen, ski and bike storage and a free parking space. We run it ourselves, as a family, with no agency.
Let us repeat the most important point: it is not on the slopes, but the San Rocco ski lift is about 100 metres on foot. If you like the idea of staying in this area, have a look at the apartment or send us your dates: we will reply ourselves.
