Livigno is a rustic Italian resort that is all about choice – both on and off the slopes. Whether you’re choosing between the extensive and exquisite ski terrain that makes this area one of Italy’s top ski areas, the bustling nightlife, the different restaurants, or adventurous and cultural daily activities, Livigno guarantees something for everyone. The village is duty-free and has over 150 retail shops, making it very appealing to groups with none-skiers, as there is something for everyone. In recent years, this resort has made headlines with wins and acknowledgements for being one of the top resorts in Europe.
When you’re not tearing up the slopes, there are many other activities for you to enjoy. These include horse riding, paragliding, quad biking, rock climbing, ice-skating, cinema, night skiing, ice driving, drift go-karting, husky sleigh rides, trips to St Moritz, Bormio thermal baths and day trips on the Bernina express rail.
Not only will you be spoilt for choice in terms of terrain, but you’ll also be spoilt for choice off the slopes. With over 10 bars and nightclubs, Livigno is known to have an extensive nightlife that doesn’t disappoint. There are many options, but make sure you visit Bivio, Alibi, Marco’s pub, Daphne’s, Alegra, Kosmo and Mickey’s Pub.
Over recent years Livigno has become increasingly popular due to its snow record at an altitude of between 1816m and 3000m, and with over 115km of prepared piste available for beginner and intermediate skiers, Livigno has become one of the top ski areas in Italy. The whole area is linked by a regular ski-bus service that is free with a lift pass. Livigno also offers night skiing for the more adventurous skier.
It was in 1997 that Pure Skiing came across Livigno, driving through the Swiss tunnel that leads to the resort not knowing what we would find at the end. Twenty years later we sit with a smile from ear to ear while sipping a bombardino at a snack bar thanking our lucky stars that we made that initial trip. Livigno has been the top-selling ski resort for Pure for the past five years and it’s easy to see why the SA market loves this Italian gem. A duty-free village with over 150 retail shops, and plenty of bars and restaurants that keep the non-skier and leisure skier happy for days. Over the December / January period, the central area can resemble Plettenberg Bay with Afrikaans being the most spoken language.
We have made ourselves at home in Livigno with permanent staff that welcome our Saffa guests and run our entertainment programme which includes ski dooing to a mountain hut, devil Karting and beers at the highest brewery in Europe.
