Livigno - anyone been?

Yeah flying to Innsbruck makes a big difference to transfer times but sometimes the flights are all gone and you gotta take the 5hrs!

Once you there though its great! Couldn't imagine being somewhere were you cant step out of the apartment straight onto the slopes.

Hi - thanks again for all the tips - luckily we are flying to Innsbruck so the journey doesn't seem so bad. 5 hours is a bit much!

I read somewhere that it's a bit out of the way for many people to bother with going there for the weekend which makes it's quieter - would anyone agree with that?

We flew in to Milan which is a 4 hour transfer so a good book is highly recommended.

However apart from that Livigno is a fantastic resort. Ive been twice now and would certainly recommend to others.

The obvious thing is the cost when your there, the resorts tax free so drinks/ food etc is pretty cheap. We were fortunate to have ski to the door which in Livigno is really hard to find!! stayed at a place called Casa something with Airtours.

If you havnt got this the bus's can get a bit annoying.

Apres - the lively ones I remember were Gullivers and Marcos, theres also a night club which you generally need to get a taxi to. We went keen on the idea however when we got there we couldn't believe how packed it was and turned into a good night. Be warned though its pretty expensive. You have to pay to get in and then buy drinks tokens at a seperate desk (I think the lowest amount you can buy is four drinks!)

The food is fantastic again I cant remember the names but ate at three fantastic restaurants in the centre of town. One is like a beach hut you have to climb some stairs to - best meal ive ever had.

Apart from that you can also take the Snow Mobiles out on the frozen lake and go to St Mortiz for the day.

Hope this helps enjoy your trip!
