Skiing is in the main reds which because of over grading ski like blues, and for the best pizza in Italy Bellavista in the Saroch area.
Depending on your standard give Bormio a go if you get bored, free bus takes about half an hour.
Walk down from bellavista into the Bar Agata a traditional Italian bar with cheap prices to boot. :thumbup:

Bormio always used to be included on the Livigno lift pass the same as St Moritz, easier to get to Bormio 30 mins on the bus, as for ski rentals it depends where your apartment is .... just be careful if you are staying a long way from the lifts and need to get the ski bus rent a ski locker at the lift station it will save a lot of pain carrying your gear, lift pass you will need to google it :thumbup:

About ten years ago we stayed at La Locanda ,which I think, is on the same street as your apartments. It has a restaurant which is open to non-residents and we thought it was fantastic. It is decorated in the style of a 'Wild West' saloon but the food is typically Italian. Pizzas through to steaks. The wine list was pretty impressive too. I'm normally a 'beer monster' on ski holidays but I did make an exception here to sample the Amarone and Ripassa. Nice.

I hesitated before posting this as I noticed it had received 'mixed' reviews on Google, but when I looked on TripAdvisor, the reviews were more in keeping with our experience. We found 'Gracchi' (Graziano) and his team to be perfect hosts. He works like a trooper in the kitchen and the place does get really busy (I take that as a good sign). However, the service was always polite. Also a great selection of digestivi with which to 'cleanse the palate' -) at the end of the meal. Skiing is good for early intermediates but you might get bored if you like to clock up the miles. Some good apres at the bottom of the pistes on both sides of the valley.

Just returned from Livigno. I would recommend a restaurant at Passo D-Eira, which is at the end of a small button lift on the Motolino side, shown on the ski map. There are 2 or 3 small hotels/restaurants on this side, we used the one on the right hand side as you face them, good value with coffee at EURO1:50 and range of snack/meals, and also clean and quiet.
