About Bormio

Bormio is an alpine spa town where the thermal baths flow freely, largely thanks to its geothermal springs that have attracted visitors for centuries. Set against a backdrop of towering mountains, this small town is known for skiing in winter and hiking in summer, with the Stelvio Pass nearby offering views and challenging drives. The mix of tourists and locals creates a unique atmosphere, especially around the Piazza Cavour where you can find a bit of local life alongside the many souvenir shops. While the skiing is on offer at the Bormio Ski Resort, the real draw is the chance to soak in the Bormio Terme after a long day, where visitors can really appreciate the joys of alternating between hot springs and cold slopes.

Who it's for

Great for those who want to combine outdoor activities with a bit of pampering. Ski enthusiasts and spa lovers will feel right at home. Less enjoyable for anyone expecting a nightlife or extensive public transport options, as you'll likely be walking everywhere or relying on a moderate bus service.

Getting around

Public transport: Moderate

  • Bormio is small enough to walk across in about twenty minutes
