Best Livigno holiday apartments

Livigno is a town in the extreme north of Italy, nestling more than 1,800m in the Lombardy alps. It is often considered to be Europe’s highest town. It is also a popular ski resort, with great facilities for snowboarding and Telemark skiing. Popular with Lombardy Italians, you can join this local community with a holiday apartment in Livigno from 9flats. In your 9flats holiday accommodation in Livigno, you will be living among the local community, instead of being isolated in a tourist hotel. In this way you will enjoy the town from a local point of view. Your holiday apartment in Livigno offers a really authentic travel experience, much like couchsurfing in Livigno but with the added comfort and privacy of your very own room or entire apartment.

Exploring from your holiday apartment in Livigno

Most visitors to Livigno these days come for the excellent skiing facilities. In summer, though, the town is also popular with hikers and climbers, enjoying the spectacular Alpine scenery. There is also the Caravaggio church, with some ex voto paintings by the great artist and the 16th century Saint Rocco church. Another important attraction in Livigno is the shopping. Livigno has long enjoyed duty-free status and does not pay Italian VAT. This makes goods substantially cheaper than in surrounding villages and has helped to bolster the economy and create hundreds of jobs in the retail sector. Petrol is cheaper too and many locals from nearby villages visit to fill up their cars.

Choosing your accommodation in Livigno

Just nearby, a holiday apartment in Bormio will see you staying in another attractive skiing resort.
