Bormio

Thanks to its thermal springs, forests and snow-capped peaks, Bormio has earned the nickname "Magnificent Land". A resort town that is the pride of Valtellina, it should be savoured at leisure, relaxing in its thermal baths or taking a stroll through its characteristic historic centre. But Bormio is also known internationally as one of the most important places for Alpine skiing.

Inaugurated more than forty years ago in 1982, the Stelvio slope served as the venue for the Alpine World Ski Championships in 1985 and 2005, hosted the final stages of the Alpine Ski World Cup in 2008, and is an annual stop on the skiing circuit. One of the most technical and spectacular slopes in the world, the Stelvio is the epitome of downhill skiing. It will host all the men's Alpine skiing competitions at Milano Cortina 2026.

Bormio's mountains are among the most enchanting in the Alps: Cima Piazzi, Monte Vallecetta and Cresta della Reit form the enchanting scenery around the resort. From the first peak, you can enjoy a magnificent panorama stretching from the Ortles Cevedale group to Bernina, while the second is the Holy Grail for hikers from around the world, and the third is the source of the nine thermal springs that contribute to making the "Magnificent Land" a wellness capital.

These incredible landscapes will form the backdrop for the excitement of the men's and women's ski mountaineering events, which in 2026 will become an Olympic discipline for the first time in history, a debut that is already projecting Bormio into the history of the Games.
