Three things to know first

Nonstop overnight to the Alps

THAI nonstop leaves at 00:40 on Monday 12 April (just after midnight on Sunday night) and lands at Milan Malpensa at 07:35. Our private coach meets you and you reach Livigno in the afternoon. Home early on Sunday 18 April.

Songkran on snow

Songkran, 13 April, is our first ski day. Three local guides take the group around every morning, 09:00–12:00; the afternoons are yours — keep skiing, use the spa, or walk the duty-free street with more than 250 shops.

You need a Schengen visa

Thai passport holders apply in person at VFS Bangkok (฿4,081). Register by 30 November 2026 to leave time for it. We prepare the hotel letter, itinerary and company letter for your file.

Where we stay

Hotel Amerikan ★★★★

A family-run hotel since 1965, in alpine wood, with 39 rooms, on Via Florin. Its own Amerikan ski lift is right in front of the hotel — "reachable with four steps", in the hotel's words — on a gentle slope that links on skis to the Carosello 3000 gondola. The beginner area, the fun park, the ski-pass desk and a rental shop are all at the foot of that lift. Wellness: indoor pool, whirlpool, sauna, bio sauna, Turkish bath, hay room · a children's room and the Amerikan Bar · TripAdvisor 4.6/5 from 752 reviews (checked 27 Sep 2026) · whether you can ski to the door in mid-April depends on the snow.

Cancellation terms, and what happens if a visa is refused, are written into the booking terms you receive with the final price. If you cannot come, sending a friend in your place is usually easier than cancelling — tell us early.

Add-on: start with two nights in Milan — Sat 10 – Mon 12 April, about ฿21,900 per person, twin share, excl. 7% VAT, minimum 6. Includes 2 nights in a 4-star hotel with breakfast, the Malpensa Express into the city, the Serravalle Designer Outlet shuttle, city transport, extra insurance and the coach pick-up in Milan on Monday; our team member stays with you. You book the earlier flight yourself (THAI 00:40 Sat 10 April, about ฿43,600 return).

For information: in Lombardy, ski teaching is reserved for licensed instructors, which is why our guides are local licensed ski instructors. If you want a proper lesson in the afternoon, Scuola Sci Azzurra in Livigno publishes private lessons at €60–65 per hour plus €10 for each extra person (season 28 Nov 2026 – 24 Apr 2027). We can book one for you; it is paid separately and not part of the package.

Note: All trip prices on this page exclude 7% VAT.

Before you go

What to bring

Come and see us before you buy any of it — we keep jackets, goggles, ski socks and base layers at the shop, and you can practise on our slope any day before you fly.
FAQ

Questions people ask

Do Thai passport holders need a visa for Italy?

Yes — a Schengen visa, applied for in person at VFS Bangkok (fee ฿3,330 + service ฿751). We prepare the hotel letter, itinerary and company letter for your file. The decision rests with the consulate, so register by 30 November 2026.

Why is the price an estimate?

Hotel Amerikan has sent us a written group quote that includes the 4-day lift pass; the ski instructors, the coach and the travel insurance are still being quoted. The final price, deposit and payment dates are confirmed with you in writing before you pay anything. Registering is free. Prices are excl. 7% VAT.

Who looks after us on the mountain?

Three local guides (licensed instructors) ski with the group every morning, 09:00–12:00, in three groups by level. A Ski Academy team member looks after the group all trip — check-in, rental, meeting points, lunch, the afternoons, and anyone who wants a slower day.

I have never skied. Can I come?

Every level is welcome, on skis or a snowboard, and the guides split the group by level. The beginner area is at the lift outside the hotel, and we suggest some time on our slope at Rama 9 before you fly — message us and we will talk it through.

Can I bring my children?

Yes. Hotel Amerikan has a children's room, and the beginner area and fun park are at the lift outside the door. Child prices are quoted once all quotes are in — ask us before you book.

How do flights work?

You book your own ticket. We name one group flight (THAI nonstop, 00:40 Monday 12 April — just after midnight on Sunday night) so everyone lands together and the coach can wait for all of us. Cheaper one-stop flights land around 14:00, after the coach has left — ask us before you book.

How do I register?

Add @skiacademy on LINE and send "Livigno" with your name — and "Milan" if you want the add-on. We put you on the list and send the Schengen visa checklist.

Register for Livigno

Message us on LINE with "Livigno" and your name. We answer every day 09:00–21:00. Registering is free and commits you to nothing — by 30 Nov 2026 · 20 seats.
