If the day isn’t enough, choose night skiing!

In Bormio (Lombardy, Italy) we never get tired, especially when it’s about skiing.
Who loves this sport knows exactly what we are talking about: you are the first person on the cableway at 8:30 am and the last one to go up on the chairlift Pian dei Larici at 4:30 pm, you’d never stop skiing… if you can’t get enough of skiing, choose to go night skiing!

Rockin’ Mountains 2016. The official video

Have you ever seen a rock concert on the snow? In Bormio it happened from March 25 to 27 when Dirty Mondays from Milan come to our snowpark with their explosive project Rockin’ Mountains.

The rock ‘n roll music had been the glue of a three-day event of entertainment on the snow with activities oriented to young people.

The most exciting time had been for sure the snowboard & freeski contest to which many athletes of international level had signed up. We definitely had seen some spectacular tricks out there.

The official sponsor of the event was the Ceres beer: an Italian brand historically connected with outdoor activities and much popular among youngsters for its “social” character.

Pre-sale season pass Bormio 2016/2017

Snow at the end of May and we are not joking. This is what incredibly happened just a few days ago here in Bormio when two snowfalls hit our mountain resort from 1,600 meters. This kind of event threw us back to last winter’s memories and got us excited about the next winter season 2016/2017.

Let’s then discover what is going to look like the pre-sale of the season pass Bormio 2016/2017.

The prices, published by AIAFAV (Associazione Impianti a Fune Alta Valtellina) have remained the same and so have the discounts on the ski pass.

The season pass BORMIO SKIPASS allows you to ski in Santa Caterina, Bormio and San Colombano and to move from one mountain to another with the skibus, fast and free.

Bormio Ski closed. Now it’s time for Bormio Bike

Bormio Ski officially closed yesterday, on Sunday April 10, 2016 after 128 ski days.

The winter season started in the worst way possible when, due to a lack of snow, we were forced to a one week postponement (from November 28 to December 5). The difficult start was just the forerunner of a whole more complicated winter during which we had very few snowfalls.

Only eight snowfalls in this season and just one really abundant: the one on March 6 when 80 cm of fresh snow fell in Bormio 3000. Data seems even more discouraging if we compare it with the season 2013/2014 when the snowfalls were seventeen.

Despite the bad weather conditions, the commitment of our staff has been constant throughout the whole winter: snowmakers, snowgroomers and slopes staff have given their best to make you ski in perfect snowy slopes.

The next winter season will begin on December 3, 2016 and finish on April 25, 2017 for a total of 144 ski days.

Pozza dei Mat 2016: mad people for a great party!

APRIL 5, 2016 – BORMIO

On Sunday April 3 the tenth edition of Pozza dei Mat (Pond of Mads) took place in Bormio 2000. The ‘mad’ people were the absolute protagonist of the day showing some great performances at the pond contest.

Pozza dei Mat: the craziest party of the winter!

Over five thousand people reached Bormio 2000 to watch the pond show: a blend of carefreeness, enthusiasm and levity that totally set the whole Bormio Ski on fire for this final season party.

The participants, about one hundred, made some great acrobatics trying to cross the pond of freezing water, using style and creativity.

For the category ‘Challenge‘ we saw a few skiers attempting the pond crossing. Some made it nicely and some totally not For the category ‘Jump‘, instead, the mad people jumped directly into the pond from the kicker. The great finale, as always, was all for the category ‘Mat‘ (mad): some really alternative vehicles made a marvellous appearance. Everyone tried to pass the pool but a just a small few, to be honest, made a pass all the way across the pond. Some lost the pieces, some lost members of the crew but the result was always one: an hilarious and phenomenal show which captivated the attention of the crowd.

Pozza dei Mat 2016: the pond of mads will be back on April 3

MARCH 18, 2016 – BORMIO

It is official now, Pozza dei Mat (Pond of Mads) will be back by popular demand on April 3, 2016 in Bormio 2000!

Pozza dei Mat (in English ‘Pond of Mads) is a great festival on the snow: every year, thousands of people gather in Bormio 2000 to watch an unusual contest, especially for the mountain. The participants equipped with skis, snowboard or on board of a weird vehicle run down a snowy hill as fast as they can with the goal of crossing a long stretch of water.

The result is an hilarious and phenomenal show. The video here below sums up really well the content of the day.  ⇓

Pond of Mads: the craziest party of the winter!

Crossing the pond in Bormio 2000 is not an easy thing to do, at all: the pool is filled with freezing water and 30-m long (10-m wide and 1.5-m deep). It’s a real swimming pool, then, installed for people who don’t mind an out-of-season bath at such an odd location.

The event Pozza dei Mat was born in 2006 as a carefree festival among friends and this year it will celebrate a great goal: the edition 2016 will, in fact, be the historic tenth.
