Winter
In winter, Bormio is the skiing capital. A place where the mountain is the undisputed protagonist, a majestic presence covered in snow. A place to daydream while skiing surrounded by beauty. People come here to go downhill and Nordic skiing, to go snowboarding, to go cross-country skiing, to immerse themselves in the silence of a long snowshoe hike.
Because when the snow covers the entire landscape in its icy embrace, Bormio looks like something out of a fairy tale. The snow-covered paths turn into an invitation to evocative walks, while horses become silent companions of exciting rides through the pristine white.
And for those who don't ski? Among the winter activities in Bormio, ice skating is an experience not to be missed. The open rink gives visitors the joy of gliding elegantly, surrounded by the Alpine landscape. But that's not all: shopping in the picturesque old town offers a dive into local crafts and traditions, making every purchase a lasting memory. Food and wine is also an essential part of winter in Bormio. The local dishes, expertly prepared, tell stories of mountains and culture. Authentic flavours harmoniously blend with the snowy surroundings, providing an unforgettable culinary experience.
Winter in Bormio is a world to be discovered, an invitation to be lulled by the melancholic beauty of the winter mountain landscape. The mountain becomes a canvas for adventures: from skiing to horse riding, from ice skating to snowshoeing and food and wine delights, every moment is a plunge into the serenity of winter.
Lifts that take you over 3,000 metres above sea level for a drop of 1,800 metres, 15 lifts and 18 slopes suitable for young and old. In Bormio, it is even possible to face a world-class downhill run!

If you want to explore the Alta Valtellina ski areas, with the Bormio Skipass, you can ski in three ski areas for a total of 110 km of slopes: Santa Caterina, a white paradise immersed in the Stelvio National Park; Bormio, the best skiing in the Alps, from the top to the bottom of the valley; and Cima Piazzi-San Colombano, the family-sized ski area. The three ski areas are linked by a free ski bus service for ski pass holders.
For freestyle skiers and snowboarders, the ideal place is the Snowpark Bormio. The homebase for medium and advanced riders is located in the Rocca Est area, at an altitude of 2,225 metres. An area designed for acrobatic thrills, and to get your fill of real adrenalin.
