The Skiers' Guide to Livigno

Pros: Beautiful resort with plenty of skiing for a week holiday. Great value, great apres and great Italian food.

Cons: Transfer from Milan is quite long but well worth it.

Love Livigno. Easy to get around. Pistes not too difficult. Great food options. Fun apres. Friendly people.

Livigno is a must-visit for any skier/snowboarder, I try to go every year as the snow quality is unlike any other resorts over Christmas and new years. You’re always guaranteed good snow. The people are lovely, it’s a very friendly town with lots of love towards tourists. The eating out options are amazing, always great choices with good veggie options! Ski schools are great, it’s where I learned the most as a child, always found the teachers very supportive, especially during solo lessons (which I would recommend if you can afford it). The best place for ski hire would be Max’s right next to the main ski lift on the Carasello side of the mountain, great service, great staff. The nightlife is also very good, with lots of Apres ski options and fun nightclubs like Mickey’s (with a slide onto the club floor from the entrance!?!). It is just a very reliable, fun and worthwhile town, plus it’s also hosting a section of the Winter Olympics this year!

Was great and snow conditions were awesome. Could of done with a few more bars and places to eat on the mountain.

The resort is well organised with plenty of choice for eating, drinking and resting. Live music is a daily bonus and the rides are very enjoyable and wide, ranging from easy to challenging. There is good choice for food and traditional alcoholic drinks as well as alcohol free beer.

Genuine ski resort for people who want to enjoy the slopes. Good Apres Ski options and incredible food. Good snow levels.

Livigno offers great skiing and apres ski in a real Italian town with friendly locals and a positive approach to tourism.

I loved Livigno and want to go back already! The slopes were nice and quiet, the lifts had no queues, and it was very affordable. Couldn’t recommend it more

Overall great resort if you are a boarder stay the Motolino side. Although both are good. Buses are good so easy to get around.

Great for beginners. Lots of choice of runs. Full access to all slopes by lift system so if any in your party are injured or don’t board or ski they can still be a part of all the action

Livigno is a great advanced skiers resort! The mountain was quiet even the week of Christmas and the brand new lifts made getting around the resort easy and fast. As a tax free zone food and drink were super cheap and delicious!

The most beautiful resort unspoilt by modern buildings. Lovely Italian food in family run restaurants. Two sides of the valley to explore.

Livigno offers the best of Italy at great prices. Great open skiing and fantastic apres. Love it as you can ski north and south facing slopes depending on what you are looking for

This was a great family friendly resort and good high altitude location with great skiing for beginners and intermediates looking to excel.
Great for a romantic getaway and lgbtq friendly (not necessarily a gay SCENE but very chill tolerant people minding their business).

Great resort for intermediate level skiers. Good value for money and easy access from hotel to cable car. Lifts efficient and not too much queuing. Would definitely go again.

Much cheaper especially for drinks than most Alpine ski resorts.
Long transfers from Bergamo airport.
Good snow park.
Great ski / snowboard school.

A lovely change from France for us, with a very different ambience and better value. The odd tax status of the region helps! We went by train from London, via Switzerland and then bus from Zernez to Livigno. Simple enough and a great experience. We found some great pistes, in good condition for March, although not very many shielded by trees. The long thin village is largely elegant and there are masses of boutiques and high end shops alongside some excellent eateries. We even found a great brewery bar, with free monkey nuts with the shells swept into the floor! The main downside is that the ski area is split in two on hills opposite each other across the valley, with a bit of an awkward bus in between. Still, there's though on each side to amuse most for a days skiing. Some great apres ski spots too. We even found a great brewery bar, with free monkey nuts with the shells swept onto the floor! Certainly a resort we'd consider again.

My absolute favourite resort.
Loads of runs for all abilities, beginners can ski from some of the highest points too so don’t feel left out. Huge snow parks. Lots of places to eat out and its tax free zone.

Had the best time at Livigno. Really nice blues, reds, didn’t go on any black slopes. A wide variety of different mountains and slopes to try which was amazing.
The food was also fabulous - ate out every night, really good value for money and really good quality food. Would highly recommend

Livingo is a super family friendly and safe resort. We love the child friendly ski schools, restaurants and hotels. There are plenty of ski runs and none are too overcrowded. Runs further out the mountain are really pleasant and worth seeking out. Apres ski can be family oriented in the restaurants, or bars with lively music.
