HOWEVER-CONS;OTHER THAN FLIGHTS INTO INNSBRUCK,ITS A 5 HOUR TREK FROM BERGAMO,NOTHING FOR THE EXPERIENCED OR MILE HUNGRY INTERMIDIATES,NOT A PARTY-ZONE AT NIGHT EXCEPT FOR A NIGTHCLUB AT THE FAR END OF THE VILLAGE AND NOT MUCH TO DO FOR NON-SKIERS DURING THE DAY.NEVER GET ROPED INTO A TRIP TO THE SAN SIRO AS ITS A 10 HOUR ROUND TRIP,BUT DEFINATELY DO THE DAY EXCURSION TO ST MORITZ JUST OVER THE BORDER.THERE ARE MUCH BETTER SKI RESORTS IN ITALY(SELLA RONDA,MADONNA,CERVINIA ETC),BUT LIVIGNO IS A GREAT ALL-ROUNDER,GOOD FOR BEGINNERS/EARLY INTERMIDIATES AND WELL WORTH THE VISIT.

It all comes down to what the individual wants, I don't really want nightclubs or a party town just a log fire and a bottle of vino, but I have not skied Livigno for at least 12 years, but I would want at sometime for little W to experience Livigno in winter it has not got milage but it has a uniqueness, I will argue the point with you that the best pizza in town is at Bellevista :thumbup:
