The Best Snowparks in Italy: Our Pick
Six snowparks worth riding in Italy for freestyle and jibbing: from Livigno to Madonna di Campiglio, via Obereggen and Cervinia.
Where’s the best park riding in Italy? Here are the six snowparks we think are worth the trip, from Livigno’s Olympic arena to a few quieter, lesser-known spots. Setups, lines and opening dates change every season: always check the resort’s website before you go.
1. Livigno Snowpark (Mottolino Side), Livigno
The old Mottolino Snowpark is gone: in its place, on the same side of the valley, came the Livigno Snowpark, which hosted the snowboard and freeski events of the Milano Cortina 2026 Olympic Games: halfpipe, slopestyle, big air, snowboard cross, ski cross and parallel giant slalom. The Mottolino side is still the heart of Livigno’s freestyle scene, but lines, open features and park access change from season to season: check mottolino.com before you go.
Highlight: Olympic legacy, professional shaping Best time: December–March
2. Snowpark Sestriere, Via Lattea
The Via Lattea park is compact (about 300 m, served by two drag lifts) but well laid out: two slopestyle lines with kickers of increasing difficulty and a jib line with boxes and rails. It’s not a pro park, but being close to Turin makes it the easiest pick for a freestyle day in Piedmont.
Highlight: handy location, beginner-friendly lines Best time: January–March
3. Ursus Snowpark, Madonna di Campiglio
Nearly 100,000 m² of freestyle terrain in the Brenta Dolomites, with more than 40 features. Ursus Snowpark was the Skiresort.info Test Winner in the Snow Park category in 2025 and 2026. The L line, built for experts and pros, is among the most progressive around and hosted the 2024 World Rookie Freeski Finals, but there are lines for every level. The shaping is consistent and the snow up there is excellent.
Highlight: huge size, lines for every level Best time: December–March
4. Snowpark Obereggen, South Tyrol
Obereggen is one of the best-kept parks in Italy, run with obsessive attention to detail. Over 650 m long at 2,032 m, with 9 kickers, 18 rails, a boardercross and a banked slalom built by F-Tech, and the quality shows: every feature is well made and kept in shape. Ideal for intermediate to advanced riders, but beginners get their own spots too: the Family Fun Line and the Kids Learn Park.
Highlight: carefully built features, professional shaping Best time: December–February
5. Snowpark Cervinia
At the foot of the Matterhorn, with kickers, quarterpipes, spines, rails and boxes in different sizes plus a chill-out area. The altitude keeps the snow good well into spring, and Breuil-Cervinia has one of the longest seasons in Italy, from late October to early May (exact dates on cervinia.it). It’s the place to go for spring sessions.
Highlight: long season, snow quality Best time: March–April
6. Madepark, Madesimo
A little-known park in Valchiavenna. It’s well laid out, with beginner and intermediate lines, and the resort is less crowded than other areas. Great for relaxed sessions with a small crew.
Highlight: uncrowded, laid-back atmosphere Best time: January–March
