      History, Livigno
      The Livigno valley has been inhabited since 1000 AD, initially for military-strategic reasons. In the 17th century, Livigno was granted legal and economic autonomy by the Graubünden rulers of the Valtellina. In 1805, Livigno was declared a duty-free zone by Napoleon because of its exposed location, which used to be difficult to access in winter, so that it could still be inhabited all year round. Austria-Hungary recognized these advantages in 1818. In 1910 Livigno's status was confirmed by Italy and finally in 1960 by the European Community. According to Article 3 Paragraph 1 of the CC, Livigno does not belong to the customs territory of the Community. Naturally, smuggling always played a major role, as the names of pubs and names of hiking trails still bear witness to today.
      Since the place was cut off from the outside world for six months of the year until 1951, it can be described as a fake exclave and was given the nickname Piccolo Tibet (“Little Tibet”). Since then, the Passo di Foscagno has also been cleared in winter and, apart from short interruptions, Livigno can be reached from the Italian side all year round. The valley is also accessible from the Swiss road number 28 between Zernez and the Ofen Pass through the toll Munt la Schera tunnel built in the 1960s, and during the summer months during the day from the Bernina Pass via the Forcola di Livigno pass road.
      Part of the town was destroyed in the 1960s during the construction of the Lago di Livigno reservoir.

        Tourism, Livigno
        Winter sports play a crucial role in tourism in Livigno, although attempts are made to attract tourists in summer through attractive mountain biking and hiking opportunities.
        In winter there are 33 lifts with a total capacity of 46,460 people per hour, which provide access to 115 km of slopes. There are also 40 km of cross-country ski trails. Because arrangements are common from Saturday to Saturday, there are long traffic jams between the town and the entrance to the single-lane Munt-la-Schera tunnel on these days during the winter season.
        The center of Livigno is a pedestrian zone, but cars can use it to get to and from the hotels located there. Four free bus lines operate in town all year round.
