(NEXSTAR)- The mountain town of Livigno is hosting all snowboarding and freestyle skiing events for the current games. Located in the Alps, the venue has served as the backdrop for US and international Olympic stardom. Livigno features more than 100 kilometers of ski slopes and a state-of-the-art snow park. These facilities have established the area as a top training site for freestyle athletes. That means many were familiar with the terrain well before the games. Travel to the mountain venue requires a 5½ hour journey from Milan using both bus and train services. The town is also located four to 5 hours away from Cortina. The distance between these sites serves as an example of the geographic spread of the various competition venues. Several high-profile athletes have already secured medals in Livigno. These competitors include skiers Liz Lemley, Jaelin Kauf and Alex Hall, along with snowboarder Chloe Kim. The town is situated in the Alps near the Swiss border. In addition to its specialized competition facilities, it maintains the traditional characteristics of a ski resort town. Watch our video above for a closer look at the venue.
