Tourism is the life-blood of Livigno. This
Alpine town in northernmost Italy leads a frantic 24 hour day in
the winter season, drawing visitors and workers from all over
Europe. But only 30 years ago all this was unimaginable; locals
lived the rural in total isolation. Have the land and the community
been pushed too far too fast?

What factors opened up the valley, and when has
it grown most rapidly? Where will development take it if current
trends continue?


Not all locals now believe relentless growth is
good. The environment may be suffering; the economy brings wealth,
but is at the mercy of visitors and the competition of other
resorts across the globe. Does Livigno really need more roads and
parking space?


Aviemore in the Scottish Highlands is the UK's
premier skiing centre. Life was once quite peaceful there, but like
Livigno, change has come. Look for the similarities, but also
understand why each puts on a different show for the tourist.
