Terrain by difficulty

Intermediates will love the network of blues and reds (there is only one short black run).

Snow conditions are usually fantastic thanks to comprehensive snowmaking and the northerly aspect. The attractive town has a lot going on – including the spas that made the resort famous – and a wide variety of accommodation is available, from luxury hotels to family run guesthouses. Further skiing with nine more lifts is available on the other side of town at Le Motte and Isolaccia.

Pros and cons

Snowsure, intermediate cruising
Good beginner facilities at the top of the gondola
Lots to do in town and great spas

Limited local slopes, but more on offer at Le Motte and Isolaccia
Few challenges for experts and limited off piste
Some hotels a decent walk away from the gondola

On the Slopes

Beginners are very well catered for at Bormio 2000 at the top of the gondola – this does however mean that you have to download at the end of the day. The gentle slopes are served by a mixture of magic carpets and easy draglifts and progression on to longer blues is good. Confident intermediates then have the pick of the mountain, including the long descents back into town, the snowsure reds at the top of the resort and the Stelvio downhill course.

This however is not a resort for more advanced skiers and boarders, especially as the off piste is limited. You will quickly want some variety away from the local slopes, which to some extent the Le Motte and Isolaccia provides, but even in these areas there are few challenges on offer.

In the Resort

The resort has over 40 hotels, giving a great selection of accommodation. The only issue is the size of the town means that some are located a distance from the main gondola – but many run a shuttle bus and the local bus service does link up well.
There is a wide choice of restaurants within the medieval town, which feels as different from a European mega resort as you can get. The food, as with many Italian resorts, is a highlight and prices are very reasonable. Off the slopes, a visit to the famous natural springs, long famous within the resort, is the perfect way to unwind after a long day on the hill.
