Cross-country skiing: the Livigno snowfarming loop is open
A cross-country skiing track has been open in Livigno (Italy) since 25 October, the day the Italian resort inaugurated its 2024 snowfarm. As has been the case for years, the Lombardy town in the province of Sondrio is home to a number of top names on the international circuit, including Norwegians Johannes Hoesflot Klæbo and Petter Northug Jr , as well as France’s Lucas Chanavat.
They were all able to put their cross-country skis back on on the transalpine snow ring. Other athletes in Livigno included the cross-country skiers from the i3 Ski Team, led by Simon Vuillet, Tania Kurek and Léonie Besson, as well as members of the Elite Vosges Ski Team including Amandine Mengin, Mattéo Correia, Guillaume Poirot, Maëla Correia and Paul Schlussel.
