Skimo Bormio. Did you know that we have more than 350 routes available for ski touring? From the Valle dei Forni to the Val di Rezzalo, from the Cima San Colombano to summits of the Val Viola, get your skis and skins ready (not forgetting your self rescue equipment) because there are so many mountains to conquer here!
Ski touring is a sport with a long tradition but it is also very much in fashion at the moment among skiers who love the call of the mountains.
The resorts of the Alta Valtellina are better suited to ski touring than virtually anywhere in the world. Our valleys offer hundreds of mountain summits, almost all of which can be reached on skis, with climbs of up to 2,000 m and glaciers where you can ski until April. A true paradise for this sport, wouldn’t you agree? There are more than 350 routes across the valleys of Bormio, Valfurva, Valdidentro, Valdisotto, Sondalo and Livigno. There are routes for all, ranging from simple ones close to the Alpine skiing runs, to big climbs of mighty mountains, such as the Gran Zebrù!
As an added bonus, many of these routes take in mountain huts and restaurants. The ideal places to refuel after a tiring day on skis!
