March 8th is International Women's Day: this year it falls on a Saturday and can therefore be the ideal occasion to spend the weekend in the mountains, in Valtellina. Here are some suggestions for activities and events to do during the Women's Day weekend.
SPORTS AND OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES
Spending a weekend in the mountains for Women's Day means doing sports, outdoor activities and enjoying fresh air and breathtaking natural landscapes!
If you want to do some snow activities, all the ski areas are open and therefore a nice day on the skis is always a good idea.
And for those who want to experience the thrill of skiing under the stars, several locations offer night skiing: click here for more info
You can also choose to go on tour with fat bikes, snowshoes or on foot, the right mood to unplug from the daily routine.
If you are looking for a more "adrenaline-filled" activity, you can choose to cross the Ponte nel Cielo - The bridge in the sky (click here), one of the highest Tibetan bridges in Europe.
WOMEN'S DAY ON BOARD THE RED BERNINA TRAIN
"One of the ten most beautiful train journeys in the world" according to National Geographic. A UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2008, the Bernina Red Train is much more than a journey. From Tirano to St. Moritz, you will have the opportunity to enjoy splendid landscapes, Alpine peaks and breathtaking views.
WOMEN'S DAY... IN THE CELLAR!
Valtellina is the largest terraced area in Italy: some of the greatest Italian red wines are born here, including Sforzato. Along the Strada del vino, the Valtellina Wine Route, it is possible to enjoy food and wine experiences including walks through the vineyards, visits to the cellar with tastings and much more: click here for more info
Relax at the spa with friends
The Bormio spa, in any season of the year, is the ideal opportunity to unplug and relax in the warm thermal waters. Whether it's at Bormio Terme, in the town center, or at Bagni Vecchi, with its famous panoramic outdoor pool, or at Bagni Nuovi, the largest thermal garden in the Alps, spending a few hours in one of these establishments will be a real treat.
