About Bormio
Bormio has a number of strings to its bow. Firstly, it’s a beautiful, medieval town with a fascinating history, and secondly, it’s surrounded by the breathtaking landscape of the Stelio National Park which has thermal springs, great hiking opportunities and spectacular ski slopes, including some of Italy’s highest runs. The best places to stay in Bormio will provide an excellent base for experiencing all of the above.
Broadly speaking, if you’re here for the town and history then you’ll find your idea of the best places to stay in Bormio in its medieval heart, but if you’re here for the slopes then you may be more interested in being close to the lifts or the open, woodland runs around the outskirts of town.
Bormio’s bagni, or thermal springs, have been a popular attraction since Roman times (apparently Pliny the Elder ‘discovered’ them) and are where the interests of skiers and history buffs may overlap! There are numerous pools and a huge menu of spa treatments on offer, from mud therapies and traditional scrubs to inhalations and simple massages.
Those interested in Bormio’s history will also want to see the numerous frescoes, fountains and beautifully carved stonework of the old town. There’s also a great civic museum.
Skiers, if they’re feeling brave, will want to try out the runs on Vallecetta, the main skiing mountain. Firstly there’s the longest vertical drop in Italy - 3012m to 1225m, then the Stelvio Slope, called the most challenging slope in the world by some professional skiers. But there are also plenty of less spine-chilling options and great opportunities for snowshoeing along the hundreds of kilometres of trails in Stelvio National Park.
What not to miss:
- Hike through the stunning Stelio National Park.
- Hit the slopes; find a wide range of runs, some of Italy's highest runs and the world's most challenging slope (Stelvio Slope).
- Spend an afternoon unwinding in the thermal springs.
- Explore Bormio's historic Old Town complete with beautiful frescoes and intricately carved stonework.
- During the summer months, hire a mountain bike, and speed along the mountain trails.
