The upside

  • Reliable snow
  • Large choice of beginners’ slopes
  • Impressive modern lift system
  • Cheap by the standards of high, snow-sure resorts
  • Lively, friendly, quite smart village with a good Alpine atmosphere
  • Long, snow-sure cross-country trails

The downside

  • Few tough pistes
  • Mainly above the treeline, so susceptible to white-outs
  • Very long transfers from some Italian airports (Innsbruck is much quicker)
  • Village is very long and straggling, with no buses later in the evening
  • Nightlife can disappoint

    Summary

    Livigno’s recipe of a fair-sized mountain, high altitude and fairly low prices is uncommon, and obviously attractive, and may be enough to get it on to your shortlist, especially if you are a beginner or unadventurous intermediate. But don’t overlook the non-trivial drawbacks listed on the left.
    After banning off-piste for several years up to 2012/13 the resort now allows it and has heli-skiing as well.
