Livia Altmann started playing ice hockey at the age of four. Since the EHC Arosa did not have a women's team, she played together with Isabel Waidacher and her sisters Monika and Nina with their male school colleagues.

After completing the compulsory schooling in Arosa, she attended the canton school in Chur, which she graduated from in summer 2014 with the Matura .

In order to develop further in sport, Altmann switched to the ZSC Lions women's team in the 2011/12 season , with which she won the Swiss championship title in 2012, 2013 and 2016. She has been a member of the Swiss national women's team since 2012/13 , with which she took part in the World Cup in 2013, 2015 and 2016 . In 2014 Livia Altmann won the bronze medal at the Olympic Winter Games in Sochi .

Livia Altmann has been the captain of the national team since the 2015/2016 season . She recently held this position with the ZSC Lions. From August 2016 she will play university hockey for the Colgate Raiders in Hamilton . Altmann expects further impulses for her sporting career from the move to North America.
