The skiing is fairly limited despite the international reputation of the
resort. Skiing is located on Cima Banca. The 39km available are mainly
for beginners and intermediates as only 9% of the resort is for advanced
skiers. The advantage of skiing at Bormio is that it's an excellent place
to learn. The ski schools are highly respected and snow conditions are
generally reliable with high snow sure pistes supported by snow cannon.
The lift pass covers adjacent resorts such as Santa Caterina but are not
connected, except by bus.
