Bormio
Bormio is a thriving little town at the top of the Valtellina valley in the Lombardy region of Northern Italy. It is positioned on the historic trading route between Venice and Switzerland, with connections via mountain passes to the South Tyrol and Livigno. In the town you can find the expected range of shops, bars and restaurants, as well as the thermal baths for which the town has long been famous.
Stella Alpina
This is the wide piste above Bormio 2000, accessed via the main gondola.
Stelvio
This is the big hill used for the FIS races you can see on the TV. It too is accessed via the gondola to 2000, then dropping down across the mountain to our various start points we dont use the whole World Cup run! On this slope we will be running all the FIS races, plus the floodlit team parallel slalom and the U14/U16 Super-G.
