 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi all,
Does anyone know of a good 3/4 star hotel you can ski to and from in Livigno.
Also are you guaranteed snow - going 1st week in Feb 2008 for little sis's 21st birthday. Its a suprise present and we had crap snow in bulgaria this year and it was crap. Want to make this a great one. I heard Livigno is a good spot and pretty high altitude.
Thanks, if anyone can help.
Brian

flexrip, Livigno's a ribbon town strung along a N/S valley. Pretty much any hotel in the Southern San Rocco end or in the Main town at the North end of the valley will be either backing onto the piste or at the very most a 100m trot. in between there's about a mile of houses/hotels/apartments etc. along the one-way street although they're on the hill, they can't really be called ski in ski out unless you're into a bit of gentle x-country. I wouldn't worry too much as the buses are free and very frequent. I'd choose any hotel in the main town, it's a pedestrian zone with great bars and food and shopping.
It's in the high Alps, just over the border from St Moritz so snow will as good there as anywhere. but you ski on two sides of the valley and at peak winter cold Feb. it's best to follow the sun as it moves across the hills. Also, it can get VERY cold at night, -22C the last time I was there, so be prepared.
Livigno's a cracking place for a holiday, the skiing's just about enough for a week's pleasure unless you're into serious steeps and gross mileage. The schools are ok but the guides are superb and will take you way out of bounds.
I usually stay in an apartment . . . or under a table in Galli's 
but here's the Tourist Office link http://www.hotelslivigno.com/

Brian, did you find a good hotel? We are planning a trip at the end of February to meet some dear friends who are coming out for a week from SA.
Thanks,
Chris

Should add that we are ideally looking for an apartment or self catering accommodation as we will by dining with our friends.

chrisG - PM JacquieCC, she's a member of Snowheads and runs a business out there and has given me some decent advice, she can probably recommend something for you.
