Bormio

Places To Visit

Unlike other Italian ski resorts, there is a lot to see and do in Bormio other than skiing.

The 17th century Baroque church called the Chiesa Collegiata SS. Gervasio e Protasio, is located to the east of Piazza Cavour. The old court of justice, the Loggia of the Kueerc is to the left of the church. There is also the civic museum or the Museo Civico, which has a historic art collection. The main tower in the town, the Torre Civica is just in front of the Kueerc.

Taking a side trip to one of the nearby towns can allow one to experience a different atmosphere than Bormio. Livigno is only a 12 mile drive away, or one can take the bus which leaves 4 times a day, or twice on Sunday for about €4.00. Livigno is more of a typical ski-town, and will see more action in the way of clubs and pubs, but is less architecturally interesting but also good for shopping, so stock up on perfumes Italian fashion, or sporting goods.
