Livigno is in a relatively dry corner of the Alps, but its valley has a reputation for cold, so any snow that does fall tends to stick around.
Add to that plenty of high altitude terrain plus comprehensive snow-making and Livigno can be considered one of the safest bets in Italy.
Where to ski in bad weather:
There are a few trees close to resort level though, generally speaking, Livigno's slopes are open and it is not a great place to ski in bad weather.
Where to head in poor snow conditions:
The best snow conditions are often found in the Carosello 3000 area which, in most years, stays open into May.
