Gary and the Redditch Mob from Ski United Kingdom United Kingdom
Visited Livigno during mid January 2007, we were greeted by Big Blue skies, splendid scenery, good skiing and friendly locals. Runs to suit most levels especially beginners and intermediates, the more advanced may grumble a little - but - HEY, can't always please everyone. Beginners will enjoy the many blue runs at village level - but a quick word of warning some of these taper off sharply at the ends or alternate to Reds without warning. Just take the time to study the piste maps beforehand. Temperatures were minus 10 at night with the pavements becoming sheet ice (great fun though ). At this time we must mention Steve from Leeds, you are both a source of inspiration and entertainment, we have nicknamed you STEVE from LEEDSVINGO - keep the good work up my friend may see you and your family there one year ! It snowed 2 weeks before we arrived there with conditions just starting to turn icy - but still fun, enjoyed the laid back and relaxed approach and certainly not over-skied pistes as per many French resorts. Yes - those Livigno prices are correct, a litre bottle of Jack Daniels for 7 pounds and a respectable restaurant meal for around the same. Try an Italian authentic pizza, you will feel like suing Tescos. Fantastic and for less than 5 pounds. It may pay to brush up on your Italian a little, I'm sure the locals tire of the many gesticulating Brits inquiring where the tobacconists are located. We have previously skied at Austria, Germany and France ( 3 valleys ) and would rate Livigno as a package up there with the very best, the effortless long blue cruise run from the top of Costaccia is worth the price of the Plane Fare alone. Those buses, they are a source of both irritation and humour. They are frequent and reliable during the day, however, after 6 p.m. they partly disappear or worse they self terminate their service leaving you with frozen brass monkeys to thaw out at leisure afterwards. If you get the chance catch the blue bus to the eastern lakeside of the village, we chuckled at the many buildings and houses with their same style detached dog kennels built to the same architecture ( very funny). On the bus subject, simply go into any pub or restaurant and they will willingly call a taxi for free - taking you anywhere in the village for less than 4 pounds. So, if you are thinking of a Ski Holiday or fancy an alternative resort try Livigno - you won't be disappointed - book it now and be greeted by those big blue Livigno skies. And Steve from LEEDSVINGO - keep the writeups coming my friend. Skiing is our religion and the mountain is my church. Gary, Sandra and the Redditch Mob See you all out there March 07. ................Chow !

Have to agree, Livigno is fantastic and I am about to go for the 4th time on the bounce. Good skiing and great nightlife. Check out Paco the Argentinian singer. Wherever he is playing is the place to be !

Been to Livigno five times so far & have enjoyed it every time! Never been let down by the snow! I have stayed at the Zodiac a couple of times & all in all it is a good option, right in the centre of the village so everything is on your doorstep! Wasn't able to go this year (2007) but my friends still went & stayed in the Letizia apartments & said they where perfect so we are booking them for 2008! Skiing wise Livigno is excellent for beginners but may not test some advanced skiers! The snow park is really good & is well worth a go! Nightlife is also pretty good with cheap booze a plenty & excellent food also!

Hi Keith, flying from Leeds/Brad on the 23 Dec, yes like you I've been praying for snow, pleased to see it looking a lot whiter. Staying at the Casa Letizia Apts, next to Cassana drag lift no 30. Hope we do meet up, 8 of us going 4 boyz 16,15,10 and 9. Watch out for the Leeds Utd hats, sad but we've got to keep the faith.

Getting excited as we prepare for our third Xmas in Livigno. Thank god it's snowed! Hope to meet up with other Brits - are you still going Steve from Leeds? See you there! Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!

Livigno is a great resort for beginners and intermediates. Limited for advanced skiers. The food is fantastic and people warm and friendly. I have been going to the resort with friends and family for over ten years, sometimes up to three times per season and never tire of it! Not to much snow to be seen there at the moment, lets all hope some falls before Christmas to get the season off to a good start. Have a good trip if you are planning on going there - I'll be there in January!

Hi, went to Livigno in January 2006 with a group of friends and had the most amazing time. The food was great as was the nightlife, we recommend the Apres Ski bar at Carasello 3000, Homelywoods, Marcos and Kokodis for those of you wanting a boogy and cheap drinks! For those looking for apartments go to www.livignoweb.com, there you can put in your requirement for apartments and the locals will email you with an offer price for any available apartments, so simple! Our trip last year was so successful that we're all going out again January 2007, this time with twice as many people. The free ski bus is quite simple, there are only three to choose from, red, yellow or blue routes (maps avaiable from above website)it runs from 7.30am until 8pm. As a snowboarder the only thing i will mention in a vaguely negative sense is that on a couple of the blue runs the incline is pretty flat and if you are a bit of a novice (me)and not confident with picking up speed, you tend to come to a halt and end up relying on your skiing pals for a tow! Otherwise it is a superb resort with extremely welcoming people and well worth the money and long transfer! Hope this helps your decision, see you in January!

hannah from bristol from Ski United Kingdom United Kingdom
Love the place....been going for the last 4 years 2 or 3 times a season....all organised by ourselves online so it works out very cheap.....kids adore the place and we have many friends who work over there..have stayed in a few different apartments but are now doing it all from a motorhome, it's great fun and much nicer. We have taken a few friends with us before and they are all hooked on the place.....for a shorter, more picturesque transfer try flying to Friedrichsafen and hiring a car....its a small airport so you are quickly through the gates and on the road. You see the snow much earlier this way and the drive through Switzerland is much nicer.
