You sleep at the Vetta Hotel, a small boutique hotel with eighteen rooms overlooking the mountains. The rooms are exactly what you'd expect on a winter sports holiday: plenty of oak, a cozy duvet so you can sleep with the window open and the fresh mountain air, and a spacious rain shower where you can warm up wonderfully after skiing.

Breakfast at Livigno Dairy has everything you could wish for: fresh fruit, fresh cheeses, local hams, and all sorts of eggs freshly made for you. You'll be completely ready for a long ski trip. The hotel is also stunning from the outside: fully clad in wood and superbly centrally located, just a short walk into the village. Bonus points: it's across from our favorite wine bar. Vino & Co.

This is really a must do when you are there. The owner of Agriturismo La Tresenda is super sweet and was given an alpaca by chance from a friend about twelve years ago. This gradually grew into more animals, and he now has an alpaca farm with about seventeen alpacas and llamas, as well as pigs, chickens, beautiful horses, and donkeys.

The property is an agriturismo, so you can also stay overnight. There is a restaurant and bar, a sauna and a outdoor hot pool. During the day, you can walk and cuddle with llamas and alpacas. Our favorite alpaca was TJ. We were simply given a leash to walk with him. 'Okay, see you in half an hour.' Uh... okay. Just a regular Tuesday with an alpaca on a leash. Let's go

For a spa day go to AquagrandaNote: it's a large spa with all kinds of saunas and steam baths, but you can also take exercise classes and much more. You can easily spend an entire day here. On Wednesdays, special Wellness Wednesday events are held here, where you can share sauna rituals with others. Prefer a bit more peace and quiet? Then go on a different day.

There is also a daily program. We tried the hottest infusion there is – prepare yourself, because it is truly a experienceIce balls are thrown onto the fire, there's dancing, aromatic scents are released, and the light changes to disco lights with rousing music in the background. Intense? Yes. An experience? Absolutely. Tip: join us afterwards for a five-course dinner at the Aqua Alpine Restaurant.

For lunch go to Rifugio Costaccia. Book here on the second floor. You can ski there, and if you don't ski, you can take the gondola up. It's actually a bit fine dining On the slopes: the chef worked in a Michelin-starred restaurant. Our favorites? All the daily specials, but especially the ravioli with fresh truffle. Also a must: the apple strudel and the homemade limoncello.

For dinner, choose typical winter sports restaurants (lots of wood and colorful rugs) such as The Calcheira en ErmineLa Calcheira is a bit more upscale, but both are equally delicious. And get used to it: after every meal—lunch or dinner—you get a house liqueur.

Do you really want a night out? Then go eat at Mo He Boutique HotelThey have an amazing wine cellar here (where you can also reserve a table) and a chalet that has literally been dug out of the ground and placed under the restaurant, where you can also dine.
