Destination guide

Bormio

Italy

Lombardia

One of the great World Cup downhills, above a proper spa town

Is Bormio right for you?

  • Home to the Stelvio, one of the toughest and most famous downhill courses on the World Cup circuit
  • A single long, dramatic descent gives strong skiers a genuine test
  • Genuine Roman-era thermal spas make for one of the best rest-day options in the Alps
  • An attractive, historic town rather than a purpose-built resort
  • Heads up: The ski area itself is fairly compact, so it's better suited to a few focused days than a full week of varied terrain.

“Bormio is home to the Stelvio, one of the toughest downhill courses on the World Cup circuit, set above a genuinely historic spa town. Best for stronger skiers after a serious test on the slopes and a proper thermal soak afterwards."
