Livigno Italy | Ski Holiday

	Livigno Italy – Delightful Resort… and… Duty-free haven!
	The core of the skiing at Livigno Italy is on the ski-in, ski-out, south-east-facing Carosello, and a two-stage gondola provides rapid access from the town to the highest point. The skiing is generally steeper on the west-facing side of the valley. Wide pistes mean that Livigno is a good place for novice snowboarders, but it presents few challenges for the experienced. Reporters rated the resort ‘great for apprehensive skiers and mixed-ability families’.

				Beginners - Very Good
				Livigno’s extensive ski area boasts long, wide pistes which makes it ideal for beginners. The longest Blue run is 7km long so you can really build up speed before falling… just kidding… about the falling, not the length of the piste!

				Intermediate - Very Good
				At and altitude of 1820m, Livigno enjoys a fantastic snow record, reaching heights of 3000m, combined with high speed chair lifts and 115km of skiing makes Livigno an ideal resort for intermediate skiers.

				Advanced - Good
				With so many runs to choose from, the advanced skier will have a lot of fun. A bit of off-piste skiing and tree runs will keep you on your toes.

Après Ski
Italian après ski is different to Austrian resorts – in Italy you tend to have a drink at the end of the ski day and they push off home for a shower and to change into some fresh gear before heading out to the pubs, restaurants and clubs.

Really vibey clubs include Daphne’s (now there’s a good strong Italian name for you!), Gallis and Marco’s. For shaking your bootie – head to Kokodis!
