If you're looking for the answer to the question 'where is Bormio', look no further than northern Italy. Here, in the heart of the Alps, on the border with Austria and Switzerland, lies this wonderful town. At 1200m altitude, Bormio was founded by the Romans in the first century AD. The reason for its creation was the hot springs that could not leave the Romans and their thermal culture indifferent. They were the ones who built the first baths in Bormio which are still popular today.
The history of Bormio as a ski resort begins in 1985 with the Alpine Ski World Championships. Since then, Bormio has developed from a small old mountain town into one of the most popular ski resorts in the world. Since the 2005 World Cup Bormio has been equipped with modern ski lifts and hotels.
