The story of Bormio

Bormio has been a mountain crossroads since antiquity — Pliny the Elder wrote about its thermal springs, and medieval merchants crossing the Alps stopped in its cobbled centre, still guarded by the Kuerc meeting-place and stone towers. Few ski towns can offer a genuinely ancient old town at the bottom of the gondola.

The mountain is a single, magnificent wall of skiing: from Cima Bianca at 3,012 m the terrain drops nearly 1,800 vertical metres back to town. Down its spine runs the Stelvio, widely considered the toughest downhill on the World Cup circuit — a leg-burning plunge that decides races (and reputations) every December, and the stage for the men's alpine events at the 2026 Winter Olympics.

Ski hard, then do as the Romans did: the Bagni Vecchi thermal baths cling to the hillside above town, where you can float in steaming outdoor pools watching the mountain you just skied turn pink in the evening light.

Signature runs

Pista Stelvio

The World Cup's most feared downhill — over 1,000 m of vertical, brutal compressions and the famous San Pietro wall. Skiing it groomed is a bucket-list day.

Cima Bianca to town

The full top-to-bottom: almost 1,800 vertical metres in one go, one of the longest lift-served descents in Italy.

Stella Alpina

Wide, confidence-building cruising mid-mountain with views across the Ortler group.

Local tips

◆End the day at Bagni Vecchi or Bormio Terme — the outdoor pools at dusk are the best après in the Alps.
◆The mountain is tall and narrow: on busy days start from Bormio 2000 to skip the first gondola queue.
◆Pizzoccheri — the Valtellina's buckwheat pasta with cheese and cabbage — is the mandatory post-ski meal.
◆Ride up in late June–October? The Stelvio Pass road above town is a cycling shrine with 40+ hairpins.

Bormio's thermal springs have been in continuous use for around 2,000 years.
