I always stay in Saroch it is about a two or three minute bus ride to the Carosello tele cabine, this area has some nice restaurants and bars, not over commercialized

My mum always told me not to tell lies so I won't, yes I did. :oops:

But.... I have been to livigno many times both Winter and summer I love the place, it's not everybody's cup of tea but we like it, you here stories of it being rowdy but I have never experienced that, I think the village is big enough to hide a multitude of sins, have always found the locals incredibly friendly that is in the summer as well as winter when ski resorts are generally trying to make as much dough as they can.
The skiing is a good place for intermediates and there are plenty of beginner pistes the down side is there is not much accommodation on the piste if you don't mind a short walk or catching the bus
it never bothered us.
It has the bellavista pizza restaurant which sells the best pizza I have ever tasted and the Bar agata, it's a locals bar don't expect loud music it's friendly local bar the owners are fantastic people I would highly recommend it.
And to finish off it looks like we are going to spend a week there this summer, we were there last summer and did not here an english voice.

Hi Mr W, I know this is a relatively old thread but Livigno is one of the places I've been looking at for New Year. Can you recommend anywhere to stay. An appartment/chalet or hotel near to main lift would be good. :D

Yes I have a couple of places, how many bedrooms do you require, there is no fee for this service :wink:

Just a bit of pain when she had to pole, but all in all - fine.

Thanks for the messages which I didn't have time to respond to before we went.
I took heed of them - including not wrapping her in cotton wool.
Certainly not something I could ever be accused of!
