Mix skiing and ski touring

Bormio, a skimo-friendly destination

Five dedicated trails, four high-altitude access points, and an entire mountain area to explore on touring skis.
Stelvio Natural Skimo Trail is a project designed for anyone looking to enjoy ski mountaineering in the Bormio area, following routes developed in collaboration with local Mountain Guides, marked, groomed and monitored throughout the season.
An easy way to put on your skins and get going: whether you want to train regularly, add some vertical metres to your days on the snow, or try ski touring for the first time and gradually discover the sport.
The project has also been developed to adapt to increasingly unpredictable winter conditions. When snow cover is insufficient to start skiing from the valley floor, you can use the ski lifts to reach the snow at higher altitudes and begin your adventure from there.
The trails are spread across different areas of the destination and connect with the ski resorts, allowing you to combine uphill touring on skins with downhill runs on groomed slopes.
Before setting off, check the trail conditions and choose the route that best suits your plans for the day.

How it works

The Stelvio Natural Skimo Trails stretch across Bormio, Valdidentro, Valdisotto and Santa Caterina Valfurva. These dedicated uphill ski touring routes are prepared, marked, maintained and monitored by the Mountain Guides involved in the project.

Throughout the season, trail status is regularly updated on Valtellina Outdoor, so you can check the latest conditions before heading out.

Once you reach the top, the trails connect to the local ski areas, allowing you to ski back down on groomed slopes.

Head uphill on skins, ski back down and plan your day around the conditions and your ability level.

The Skimo Pass: Start higher, find the snow

When snow cover doesn't reach the valley floor, the Skimo Pass allows you to take the ski lifts to higher-altitude access points and start your tour on skins from there.

This option is available in Bormio 2000, Oga–San Colombano, Valdidentro–Cima Piazzi and Santa Caterina Valfurva, offering a practical way to find better snow conditions and keep enjoying ski touring throughout the season.

Trail management and safety

The Stelvio Natural Skimo Trails are managed routes, but the mountains always require caution. Before heading out, check the current trail status, consult the weather forecast and avalanche bulletin, and make sure you have the right equipment.

When skiing on the slopes, including on the way down, standard ski slope rules apply. Beyond the end of the official trails, you enter unmanaged mountain terrain, where experience and the ability to assess conditions are essential.

New to ski touring? You can rent the equipment from local sports shops and join a Mountain Guide to learn the techniques, how to use your gear and how to move safely in snowy mountain environments.
