Livigno 2008
March 15th – 22nd
Just spent the last week Snowboarding in Livigno in Italy. The 5 hr transfer from the airport is a pain but actually well worth it! The resort due to its distance from a major airports makes it a hidden secret. Perhaps that is why the people are so friendly – really very very friendly. However it would be very welcome if the holiday companies could move the flight times to late morning/early afternoon to save 2.30am starts to either end of your holiday! is this not possible?
Livigno being so high up in the Alps retains good snow conditions throughout the season and last week the snow was good. We received some welcome fresh Powder (it snowed all day) on our first day (Sunday) and our last (friday). The 4 days inbetween were glorious blue skies – although due to Livigno elevation it was generally very cold, around -5 to -10 in the day in the village. The cold was only too cold on one of the days which gave us an excuse to have an early finish and hit the cheesy euro apres ski – you’ve got laugh havent you!
