Traces characteristic:

In Bormio, beginner skiers feel very good. There is a place where children can learn the basics of alpine skiing: a special "paddling pool" with an escalator is equipped for them. "Advanced" skiers will also be satisfied. The difficulty of some tracks will also satisfy the aces.

But in general, Bormio is an ideal destination for intermediate skiers.

• For professionals: We recommend trails in the area of \u200b\u200bthe Cima Bianca (3000 m). The descent here is very interesting, but rather dangerous due to the hard snow, so be careful. It is no coincidence that there are safety nets along the tracks.The Cima Bianca summit has many opportunities for off-piste skiing. The slopes of Le Motte - Oga (Le Motte - Oga) can be an excellent area for skiing on virgin lands. There are quite a few sparse forest areas here. The slopes are flat and well prepared by nature itself, which makes skiing on fresh snow a pleasure.
• For intermediate skiers here is a real expanse. We advise them to take a ride on the slopes that start from the top of Cima Bianca and lead to Bormio 2000. These slopes, due to their relief, are laid without runs and do not allow you to relax until the very finish. Their upper part (from the summit of Cima Bianca and just below the Cimino station) runs outside the forest zone. The terrain of the tracks is very interesting and conducive to dynamic skiing.The most attractive line of trails, which allows you to descend from Cima Bianca to Bormio in about 20 minutes (drop about 1800 m), is located on the right (top-down) part of the slope. The Alpine Ski World Cup stages (women's and men's downhill and giant slalom) are held on the corresponding (starting altitude) parts of this track from Cimino station. ABOUTespecially note the wide, rather steep, straight descent to the Bormio-2000 station and the lower part of the route leading directly to the town of Bormio.We also recommend trying your hand at the Le Motte slope. This ski area is 15 minutes from the center of Bormio, and there are many different trails that run through the forest.
• For beginners: we advise them to pay attention to the tracks in the Bormio-2000 area. Note that in some places these tracks contain difficult but interesting sections. The simplest sections are located to the right of the new high-speed 4-seater lift, on the north side of the slope. Most of the trails go through a very picturesque forest. We advise beginners to go down to the town on the ski lift, because the downhill trails will be quite difficult for them.We also recommend a ride on the Le Motte slope. There are many short, easy tracks and good quality snow.
