Bormio Ski
About the area
Bormio is red-run country: of 31.58 km mapped, 22.63 km are red, with 5.82 km blue, 0.21 km green and just 1.66 km black. Confident intermediates who like long descents get the most out of it. For families the verdict is yes — 3 magic carpets, plus a gondola and a cable car, so small children never have to load a chairlift, and the town base is within walking distance. Beginners face caveats: only 19% of pistes are green or blue (6 km), although 3 magic carpets and 6 short easy runs next to a lift base cover first turns. Experts should look elsewhere: 5% black/expert/freeride terrain and 562 m of vertical on the longest single run.
Fourteen lifts span 1196 m to 3010 m, and the longest run measures 2451 m. Bormio is the single base, a 614 m walk from the lifts. Add 3.07 km of floodlit piste and 0.76 km of cross-country trail.
