Livigno
BEST FOR: All-round fun
High altitude and snow-sure, the resort of Livigno is most famous for its tax-free status, but it packs a punch when it comes to winter fun, too. The relatively long drive from the nearest cities deters short-break skiers, meaning quieter slopes on weekends. It’s a first-timers’ utopia, with wide nursery slopes and gentle pistes. More experienced visitors will enjoy the long blue and red runs, while the really adventurous can try the heli-skiing and ski touring options offered by qualified mountain guides. The big attraction is the world-class terrain park, attracting freestyle skiers and snowboarders; the resort will play host to the freestyle events during the 2026 Milan-Cortina Winter Olympics. In town, a large pedestrianised area makes shopping the centre of attention — its duty-free prices make it one of the most appealing ski resorts in the Alps. The apres-ski scene is lively, but there are also plenty of quieter, cosy bars for those craving a more relaxed time.
