Imagine an entire city joining forces to make a positive impact, Sip by Sip.
In a world where the consequences of plastic pollution are becoming increasingly evident, this forward-thinking city decided to take a bold step towards a more sustainable future. Their remarkable journey serves as an inspiring example of the immense power of synergy and teamwork to drive positive change within an entire community.
Located in the magnificent valley of Alta Valtellina Lombarda, Livigno seamlessly blends a premium tourist experience with a deep connection to its surroundings. Set in extraordinary ecological and scenic beauty, this year-round sports destination balances natural enchantment with cutting-edge innovation. Proudly selected as a host city for the 2026 Winter Olympics, its state-of-the-art facilities will set the stage for freestyle and snowboard competitions, as well as the Olympic Village.
In keeping with this forward-thinking spirit, in June 2023, the Municipality of Livigno adopted a regulation to eliminate plastic bottles wherever possible. This pioneering initiative shows the community’s concern for the environment and its desire to leave a legacy that extends beyond the excitement of the Winter Games.
