Bormio is a historic spa town below the Stelvio massif; hotels cluster in and around the old centre, a short walk from the Bormio 2000 gondola.
Bormio is one of the most interesting bases in Italy: a medieval Lombard town with Roman thermal baths beneath the Stelvio National Park, and a ski mountain that drops 1800 vertical metres of red and black piste from 3012 m back to the door. The Stelvio is one of the toughest World Cup downhill courses on the circuit and runs through town. With the Alta Valtellina pass linking to Santa Caterina, this is serious-skier territory with grown-up town life as a bonus.
