#WeAreVerticalFun
is Bormio ski area’s official slogan and couldn’t ring any truer. With 1,800
metres of vertical drop – from 3,012 metres at the Cima Bianca right down to
the town of Bormio at 1,225 m.s.l – Bormio has everything you need for
incredible descents.
Amongst its most famous offerings, the Stelvio – the host of
multiple rounds of the World Cup – is considered one of the most technically
demanding, adrenaline-pumping pistes in the Alps. There are also many other
runs that are suitable for beginners and intermediates. Families are well
served in Bormio, particularly by the Funslope, which does exactly as its name
suggests, as well as the Family Park, presenting the ideal introduction to freestyle.
The
500-metre-long snow park with 200 metres of drop in Bormio 2000 should be on
the tick list of every snowboarder, and freeriders can enjoy two stunning off-piste areas: the
Vallone with two main routes – La Classica and La Croce; and the Posto degli
Sciatori, between 2,000 and 2,700 metres.
With a single ski pass, you can also access the nearby ski
resorts of Valfurva and Valdidentro/Valdisotto.
During
the winter, this ski area hosts a number of big events, of which the men’s FIS
Alpine Ski World Cup is one to put in the diary.
Bormio is open for skiing from late November until April…
then from May until November you can base yourself on the pistes of the Stelvio Pass, the largest summer skiing zone in the
Alps!
Bormio will stage the men’s Alpine skiing races on the legendary Stelvio and the ski mountaineering races!
