I have always flown to Bergamo, but I must say the cheap flight ain't so cheap anymore and there isn't the choice of flight times and dates that used to be available. I will be honest, this must be the 1st year in about 15 that we have not gone to Livigno. I've always used Jacquie from Mountain Tours in the past to book my accommodation in Livigno and I must say she provides a greast service and her husband, Renzo, is a top taxi driver if you ever want a taxi. I went to Alpe D'Huez this year with Ski World Ltd and had a great time. Just found a great offer to Flugen, in Austria, for £92 for the week. Looks like a goer. Just need to convince my Mrs it's a good idea for me to go skiing again.

Post the same question on Livigno Forum Trip Advisor, I'm sure you will get help. Sorry I can't help always fly to Bergamo. [note from the editor: I shall leave this message on the site for a short while as it is an answer to another post placed in the Livigno reviews]

Livigno is, without doubt, the best resort that we have ever visited. The skiing is amazing and the food is great. My family and I go every year from Ireland and enjoy it so much!

A group of 8 of us will be driving to Livigno for the 3rd time on the 11th Dec. Although early season, we haven't been let down by the snow yet. When it comes to going, if the snow is not good, we'll just drive to where the snow is. It will mean losing our deposit, but worth the flexibility. We worked out the cost of the total trip last year - £500 per person. This is for totally everything - food, booze, meals/nights out,crossing, tolls, petrol, self catering accomodation. We will continue to visit Livigno until we need something more challenging.

I have been to Livigno a few times the last trip being in January 2009. It's a perfect place for beginners & intermediates. For experts there is nothing to do there, so don't bother unless you taking your family or friends who want to learn to ski/snowboard. It's very cheap at Livigno compared to other resorts like in France or Austria, but don't be fooled, this place packs a punch. It has an impressive modern lift system, the terrain park is very good, it even hosts the world rookie fest and some other contests. I also read that pros coming to practice. Livigno is quite snow sure due to it's high altitude, but snow cannons are everywhere and grooming is top notch. In other words there is always plenty of snow. Off-slopes: If you want night clubs go to Ibiza. However, there are plenty of bars and restaurants in Livigno. Don't just walk the main road and think that's all there is as there are nice, cosy bars behind buildings off the main road. The bar/club on Carosello mountain is the one to check. It's party time until 5am with people getting very drunk. Also check Original Galli bar where party time also runs until the early hours. All in all, there are much better resorts to go to than Livigno but at £220-£250 for 7 days in nice cosy self catering acommodation with flight and all transfers, what more do you want?

I came back from Livigno three weeks ago. I went with a group of four guys and decided to try out Livigno due to reports of a good ski area and cheap après-ski. My parents would have loved the ski area. Seriously wide and empty slopes and not challenging at all. A red in Livigno is closer to a green in France. A couple of more interesting blacks thrown in but not enough to challenge a descent skier. The snow was superb with fresh powder every day, but by the third day we had tackled all runs, but that said we did ski quite hard. The food in was excellent and well priced and it's true, a bottle of vodka is around £5. The après-ski was limp and too far apart. We went in peak season and most bars we're half full. The après-ski straight off the runs was, again, a bit of a disappointment and no comparison to the well known resorts in France etc. Kokodi was as good as it get's. For a group of 4 youngish lads who are half descent skiers and looking for a party town, I would consider other destinations. If you are a family on a budget or skiing with couples then give Livigno a go.

I was first time in Livigno in the middle of December 2008. There was a lot of people - this is very annoying on ski slopes. If you want to go with bus, you have to wait half and hour and more to got it. One cabin lift from bottom didn't work - and this wasn't nice, because this can help skiers not to concentrate on one (or two) lifts from bottom. Lift are relatively old. But I have to say that slopes are fantastic and snow is very good (Livigno is at high altitude). One big minus for Livigno is that there are many dogs in the village. One of them bites my 10-years old son. The tunnel to Livigno is quite expensive. Otherwise, people are very kind and I'm sure that we will go to Livigno again.

Went boarding to Pila, Livigno and Validentro last week. Livigno is obviously a lot larger than the other resorts and has more non-locals. This being said, on Saturday the conditions for boarding and skiing were perfect. With Saturday being the changeover day for Livigno, the runs were extremely quiet, combined with the resorts wide open areas, you can cruise your way down some great reds for intermediates and hardly see a soul. Some of the runs are still closed, but, at 80% open at the moment, there is still plenty of fun to be had. If you're a beginner or intermediate and have never been to Livigno or not considered it, then this is a superb resort with good quality runs and a range of areas to explore. For more advanced riders then maybe a day or two and you'd have nailed the blacks. The board park is good and definitely worth spending a little time in. In the resort and the cabins on the mountains food is fairly cheap and quality is general very good for the money. Being tax free, drinks are cheap and house wine (usually decent in Italy) is about €8 - 10. The apres-ski is not as lively as say, Mayrhofen, but still there are a few good bars to hangout in. The drive is a bit of a pain and access throughout the winter is via Bormio and a couple of routes in from Switzerland. The drive from airports in Milan or Bergamo is about 3 1/2 - 4 1/2 hours by car (Worth getting a hire car as coach transfers are longer; up to 6 hours I believe on a bad day) but that being said, the journey itself is quite nice through the mountains and some good photo opportunities. I have heard the ski schools are good and reasonably priced compared to some resorts. All in all, this is great place to go, the ski area is good for beginners and intermediates, albeit a little limited for advanced riders, unless you're hanging with friends who are learning, which can be a laugh on the slopes. In addition the board park is well worth it. Check out youtube for some videos of the board park. Definitely recommend a trip here. Happy boarding

Setting off tomorrow on the drive to Livigno. 5th consecutive Xmas and this time for New Year as well. Drive & self cater accommodation is still cheapest way, though the poor pound will offset the duty free prices. Can't wait - the best way to spend Xmas with family and friends without a doubt. The snow conditions at Livigno look just perfect this year. New winter tyres on and off we go!
