Bormio is an Italian ski and thermal resort located in the Lombard Alps, 200 km from Milan. It is part of the Alta Valtellina ski region, which also allows skiing on the slopes of Livigno, San Colombano and neighboring Switzerland - in the Engadin region, which includes St. Moritz and other resorts. Bormio has one of the most significant altitude differences in Italy - 1792 m. The resort is well equipped, distinguished by a variety of slopes and hosts prestigious international competitions. Bormio trails are very diverse: both those who are just getting on downhill skiing and those who are able to conquer the most difficult slopes will like it here. Bormio is the largest thermal resort in northern Italy. Tourists who want to improve their health, fans of fun parties, discos and connoisseurs of history love to come here.

Business card

At the beginning of the 2000s, the Alpine Skiing World Championship was held in Bormio. Thanks to this, the infrastructure of the resort has significantly improved: the tracks and lifts have become more modern, new hotels, cafes and shops have been built. All this allowed Bormio to take a firm place among the best ski resorts in Italy and adequately receive the most sophisticated tourists.

Trails, slopes, lifts

Bormio has 50 kilometers of slopes (10 blue, 8 red, 2 black slopes) with 16 lifts. Most of the blue runs are in the Bormio 2000, Chiuc and Le Motte areas. For children there is a special slope with its own lift, ski schools are open. However, adult beginners also use the services of local instructors.

More prepared skiers will like the trail between Cima-Bianca and Bormio (the drop is more than 1700 m), as well as a rather sharp direct descent to the Bormio 2000 station. Confident athletes can be advised of the Le Motte area, which runs right through the forest.
For professional skiers and freeriders, we recommend the slopes in the Cima Bianca region (3000 m). The steep and challenging tracks in this place are created by nature itself.

Springs and Wellness

Bormio is proud of its healing thermal springs, which, according to legend, were used by the ancient Romans. The water temperature in them depends on the season, but never drops below +37 degrees.

In Bormio, 9 keys emerge on the surface of the earth. The water in them is sulfate, alkaline earth, containing a small amount of radon, which is very rare in the Southern Alps.

In the Italian Bormio there is a modern thermal complex Bormio Terme, a few kilometers from the city are the ancient Bagni Vecchi (Bani Veki) and Bagni Nuovo (Bani Nuovo). In the thermal complex there are swimming pools, a sauna, a hammam, a gym, a beauty salon. Among the procedures offered are mud baths, inhalations and massages.

Medical specialization
The thermal waters of Bormio have an anti-inflammatory, regenerating, anti-stress effect on the human body and are successfully used in the treatment of a number of diseases:

• respiratory diseases,
• pathologies and injuries of the musculoskeletal system,
• metabolic disorders (diabetes),
• gynecological diseases,
• disorders of the digestive tract,
• diseases of the genitourinary system (chronic pyelonifritis, prostatitis, cystitis, male sexual dysfunctions),
• skin diseases.

The water in local springs contains a microscopic suspension of sulfobacteria - natural mud, which during the procedure produces a natural peeling of the skin.

Bormio is the best ski resort in the Dolomites. Such statements can be found on the websites of travel agencies. And what do ski tourists say in their reviews?

“Where to go in winter - we have chosen for a long time. The ski resort of Bormio is not a remote village, but a beautiful old town. Alpine skiing is only part of the holiday pleasure. There are 17 restaurants, a bunch of bars, branded clothing stores, you don't even need to go to Milan. And the local cuisine is exquisite and unusual. "

Andrey Kim:

“It's great in Bormio: mountains of indescribable beauty, snow - the sea, many good red slopes, we didn't strive for black ones. Full drive at 3100. Sometimes they didn't even go down for lunch - they ate goulash soup in a restaurant on the top and ran to the track. Compared to Val de Fassa, there are not many people, even on weekends. Evening skating was organized on Thursdays. "

D. Noskov:

“The weather made me happy: in the valley - up to 10, on the peaks - from 0 to -2 o C. For a week they dashed off 2 times more than in two at Russian resorts with endless queues. The level of security is many times higher here. Once they took an instructor for off-piste skiing on powder - it's a fairy tale. "

Roman Ov:

“The greatest difference in altitude - 3000-1250 m, can be passed without stopping. The first lifts opened at 8 o'clock, and the "Booth" and the cable car - from 9 o'clock. There is a large selection of red runs: both virgin lands and ironed snow groomers. The most picturesque - Bimbi al sole, it is also the longest - 6 km. For the pros - black cup tracks: Stelvio, 4 km long, the most difficult Betulle and Valbella».

Should I go to other resorts?

Natalisha:

“We rode in Santa Caterina for a day. There is only one good track, under the main lift, and the rest are short and flat. But on Izolyaccha it is just a delight: the tracks are super ".

D. Noskov:

“We went to Livigno a couple of times to justify the ski pass. The tracks are good there, but far from each other, there was a crowd of people. Red Bormio is better. Buses run to other zones, roads - mountain serpentine. It's a shame to waste time on moving. "

For those who dream of finding themselves in a fairy tale, we recommend that you consider offers from.

The child really liked the kindergarten "Snow". The staff there is qualified, they worked with the children in the playroom, and mainly on the playground for sports games. "

Radiant:

“Bormio is a great place to put kids on their skis. We booked a children's instructor for my daughter (4.5 years old), it cost 38 euros / h.

At 9 we handed her over to the instructor, by 10 he took her to kindergarten, and until 13 we had free skating.

Bormio is very popular and how SPA resort. There are several hot springs, known since ancient times, there are three thermal complexes with pools, saunas, baths, mud baths, beauty salons. Many Bormio hotels have wellness centers.

Andrey Kim:

“The trademark of the SPA in Bormio is panoramic views of the surroundings from saunas and pools. It's great to lie in an open-air thermal pool: snowy mountains, stars overhead. "

Angelica:

“In the first place is the SPA complex Bagni nuovi... Nice, spacious, few people (a little expensive - 136 euros for four). They gave out bathrobes, slippers, towels. Everywhere - taps with shampoos, balms and creams. Various baths: saunas, aroma, hammam, hydromassage baths. Part of the open-air complex.

In city baths Bormio Terme- half the price, but they don't give out dressing gowns and slippers. There are not many people either. V Bagni viecchi places are booked in advance. This oldest complex was visited by Leonardo da Vinci. In our opinion, he is the most uncomfortable. You need to change clothes in the common dressing room, behind the curtains, narrow corridors, tea - from titanium. The main feature is a bathtub, carved into a cave, hot water flows directly from the ground. The place is unique, but the conditions are so-so. "

“We walked several times in the picturesque National Park Stelvio: waterfalls, glaciers, mountain rivers, lakes, even seen deer. Nice, unforgettable impressions. "

Vertical drop: 1225-3017 m

Bormio- a unique ski resort in the Italian Alps. Everyone who comes to this corner of Lombardy finds exactly what he needs. After all Bormio- an excellent place for skiers, lovers of noisy rest, connoisseurs of antiquity, adherents of thermal treatment. This ski area has a wide variety of trails and excellent descents.

The resort has one of the largest vertical drop in Italy - 1792 m. Moreover, this entire drop can be driven "without changes" from top to bottom and practically without empty gentle runs. The resort hosts competitions of the highest rank. It is possible to undergo first-class treatment in the thermal complex. Numerous bars are open in the evening. Until late at night, there is fun at discos.

Bormio has been known for over a thousand years. The city was founded by the ancient Romans and for a long time remained the northern outpost of the Roman Empire. Two thousand years ago, rumors about the healing waters of Bormio spread throughout the ancient world. In the Middle Ages, many prominent personalities visited Bormio, including Leonardo da Vinci. There are many historical monuments left in the resort from those times.

Ski resort Bormio becomes in the 40s of the XX century. In the future, the main impetus for its development was the 1985 World Ski Championships.

The slopes, tracks, cable cars and lifts have been improved; new hotels have been built, restaurants and shops have been opened. These innovations have allowed Bormio to take its rightful place among the most prestigious Alpine ski resorts and receive the most discerning tourists.

In January – February 2005 in Bormio the next world championship in alpine skiing was held. In this regard, the lifts were modernized, a new lift was built - a funicular, delivering skiers to Bormio-2000 (Bormio, 2000). Travel time - 7 minutes, throughput - 2800 people per hour. Convenient underground parking was built next to the lift.

Characteristics of the tracks

Novice skiers feel very good in Bormio. There is a place where children can learn the basics of alpine skiing: a special "paddling pool" with an escalator is equipped for them. "Advanced" skiers will also be satisfied. The difficulty of some tracks will also satisfy the aces.

But in general, Bormio is the ideal destination for intermediate skiers.

For professionals: We recommend trails in the area of ​​the Cima Bianca peak (3000 m). The descent here is very interesting, but rather dangerous due to the hard snow, so be careful. It is no coincidence that there are safety nets along the tracks.

The Cima Bianca summit has many opportunities for off-piste skiing. The slopes of Le Motte - Oga (Le Motte - Oga) can be an excellent area for off-road skiing. There are quite a few sparse forest areas here. The slopes are flat and well prepared by nature itself, which makes skiing on fresh snow a sheer pleasure.

For intermediate skiers here is a real expanse. We advise them to take a ride on the slopes that start from the top of Cima Bianca and lead to Bormio 2000. These slopes, due to their relief, are laid without runs and do not allow you to relax until the very finish. Their upper part (from the summit of Cima Bianca and just below the Cimino station) runs outside the forest zone. The terrain of the tracks is very interesting and conducive to dynamic skiing.

The most attractive line of trails, which allows you to descend from Cima-Bianca to Bormio in about 20 minutes (drop about 1800 m), is located on the right (top-down) part of the slope. The Alpine Skiing World Cup stages (women's and men's downhill and giant slalom) are held on the corresponding (in terms of starting altitude) parts of this track from Cimino station.

We especially note the wide, rather steep, straight descent to the Bormio-2000 station and the lower part of the route leading directly to the town of Bormio.

For beginners: we advise them to pay attention to the tracks in the Bormio-2000 area. Note that in some places these tracks contain challenging but interesting sections. The simplest sections are located to the right of the new high-speed 4-seater lift, on the north side of the slope. Most of the trails go through a very picturesque forest. We advise beginners to go down to the town on the ski lift, because the downhill trails will be quite difficult for them.

Sports, entertainment

In the evening, it is worth visiting the city thermal complex, where you can swim in the pool, sit in the sauna, and lie in the mud baths. The complex has recently been completely rebuilt and renovated. We also recommend visiting the thermal complexes BAGNI VECCHI and BAGNI NUOVO.

The excellent indoor ice rink attracts skaters and figure skating fans.

Fans of noisy parties are advised to visit the resort's bars, taste the legendary local liqueur Braulio, grappa - Italian vodka, and then go to discos. Let's note one of the best discos in the Italian Alps King's Millenium Club. She works three days a week.

Every week, in the old square in the center of Bormio, a holiday presentation of the resort takes place: a film about Bormio and the region, performances by a dance group, hot wine and local sweets.

We would like to highlight Cleo Moda stores - here you can buy clothes from Prada, Armani, as well as Anna Moda - it sells clothes and accessories from D&G. There are many shops selling cheese, jam and sauces. We advise you to buy mushroom sauce. He is especially successful for local chefs.

The resort offers excursions to Milan, Bergamo, Lake Como, the Livigno duty-free zone, where you can buy alcohol, perfume and cigarettes at very low prices. For shopping, you can also go to the towns of Tirano and Sondrio located near Bormio.

Bormio is connected to Tirano by regular bus service. From Tirano you can take a train to any city in Italy. For example, the road to Milan takes only 3 hours.

BORMIO TERME THERMAL COMPLEX

The city's thermal baths Bormio was completely rebuilt for the 2004-2005 season. It is open every day.

To services of visitors - thermal pool, sauna, contrast showers, Turkish bath, hydromassage, gym, mud baths, inhalation room, beauty salon. We offer therapeutic water treatments and various types of massage (therapeutic, lymphatic drainage, anti-stress, improving the circulatory system).

Mud therapy and water procedures are recommended for metabolic disorders, diabetes, gynecological diseases, joint injuries, disorders of the digestive tract, musculoskeletal system, skin diseases, and disorders of the urinary system.

BAGNI VECCHI and BAGNI NUOVO

BAGNI VECCHI has been known since Roman times. It was carved into the rock and divided into three parts: Roman (antique) - old baths in narrow dark caves, medieval - warm baths with hydromassage, Austrian - relaxation rooms, mud baths. The impressive outdoor pool is located on the mountain with a magnificent view of Bormio. Wooden pipes are laid along the edges of the stone walls of the pool, from which streams of hot water flow into the basin. Peace and tranquility reign in the thermal complex. Light music sounds. Children under 14 years old are not allowed there. They can visit the city complex.

A little lower, an equally beautiful complex BAGNI NUOVO is built, also with open and closed thermal pools, grottoes, cascades. Next to this complex is the GRAND HOTEL BAGNI NUOVI 5 * - the only five-star hotel in the resort.

The vastness is like in the desert, the slopes at an altitude of 3000 meters resemble a huge ramp, in which you can drive chaotically and not be afraid to not fit into a turn.
