Bormio

Bormio, one of the most important tourist resorts in Valtellina, is famous above all for its thermal baths, which are among the most beautiful in the world and that the Romans already learned to exploit. The Lombard town is also famous for its 80 kilometers of ski slopes, the historic centre embellished with noble houses, frescoes and palaces and its rich gastronomic tradition.
