Forecast today: Mainly fair
Snow conditions are usually fantastic thanks to comprehensive snowmaking and the northerly aspect. The attractive town has a lot going on – including the spas that made the resort famous – and a wide variety of accommodation is available, from luxury hotels to family run guesthouses. Further skiing with nine more lifts is available on the other side of town at Le Motte and Isolaccia.
Beginners are very well catered for at Bormio 2000 at the top of the gondola – this does however mean that you have to download at the end of the day. The gentle slopes are served by a mixture of magic carpets and easy draglifts and progression on to longer blues is good. Confident intermediates then have the pick of the mountain, including the long descents back into town, the snowsure reds at the top of the resort and the Stelvio downhill course.
This however is not a resort for more advanced skiers and boarders, especially as the off piste is limited. You will quickly want some variety away from the local slopes, which to some extent the Le Motte and Isolaccia provides, but even in these areas there are few challenges on offer.
The resort has over 40 hotels, giving a great selection of accommodation. The only issue is the size of the town means that some are located a distance from the main gondola – but many run a shuttle bus and the local bus service does link up well.
There is a wide choice of restaurants within the medieval town, which feels as different from a European mega resort as you can get. The food, as with many Italian resorts, is a highlight and prices are very reasonable. Off the slopes, a visit to the famous natural springs, long famous within the resort, is the perfect way to unwind after a long day on the hill.

A decidedly mixed week is in store across Italy through the end of this week and through the weekend. Things will start mild across the region, with positive temperatures expected at 2,000m. High pressure will bring fine, dry and bright conditions to southwesterley reaches, whilst other areas will retain a mix of cloud and sun.
A large, dense area of low pressure will move in over Ireland, the UK and Northern Europe, bringing snow to many areas on Thursday. Snow will fall from Thursday morning onwards, initially across higher ground but reaching lower slopes as the freezing line plummets; -10°C can be expect across the Italian Alps on Friday.
The best snowfall will fall across higher ground such as the Aosta Valley, with about 15cm down over Thursday and into Friday. Elsewhere, higher slopes of Piemonte and the Dolomites will see a few useful centimetres to keep things fresh. High pressure returns across the region on Saturday, with fine, dry and bright conditions dominating – temperatures will gradually lift as the freezing line climbs over the course of the weekend. Sunday will once again bring more cloud, a possible harbinger of more unsettled and snowy conditions moving in for Christmas week.
