At 1800m Livigno offers a good snow record and skiing that best suits the beginner or intermediate skier. There are a decent number of ski pistes and Livigno shares a ski pass with the ski resorts of Bormio and Santa Caterina. These resorts offer more in the way of advanced skiing than Livigno. The skiing in Livigno reaches around 3000m, often ensuring that the snow is of good quality. Livigno is actually made uo of several villages that stretch along a narrow valley with numerous abrs and restaurants on offer. These villages in Livigno are going through something of a gentrification as investors try to improve some of the aspects to the ski village that once distinguished its charm and appeal. Whatever the views of returning visitors, the snow reliability and gentle slopes in this remote outpost continue to impress. Skiing is possible on both sides of the valley with the lifts leaving the resort along its length. The resort offers excellent value for beginner skiers and those wishing to enjoy the evenings as well as the daytime pursuits – après ski is good here. The ski resort is also sufficiently remote to have acquired duty-free status meaning that shopping is another draw.
