Bormio Ski, Snowboard & Summer Holidays

Bormio lies at the top of the Valtellina valley, a transverse valley of the Italian Alps, running east-west from Lake Como to the Ortler, and is close to the Swiss and Austrian borders.

The village sits in a sunny basin where the valleys Valdisotto, Valdidentro and Valfurva meet. Its surrounding mountains with their snow caps rise to over 3000m, and it is a beautiful setting for your holidays.

It has hosted the FIS Alpine Ski World Championships in both 1985 and 2005, and annually holds a FIS World Cup Mens Downhill race at the end of December - so is internationally known.

Bormio was first built by the Romans as a spa town and has risen to become one of the most popular resorts in Italy. At heart it is a small medieval market and spa town and its character reflects this - it has great atmosphere and charm.
