Climbing
Experience the climbing challenge in Bormio
Discover and test your skills at the historic and evocative Crap de Scegn limestone cliff in Valdidentro. Try your hand at climbing on the rock faces beneath the medieval Fraele Towers near the Cancano Lakes or in the chestnut forest of Migiondo, a 20-minute drive from Bormio. Or climb at the Forni cliff in Valfurva, overlooking the Forni Glacier.
And if the weather isn't on your side, climbing continues indoors: in Valfurva and Valdidentro, gyms dedicated exclusively to climbing await you, with routes ranging from beginner to expert, bouldering walls, and a welcoming and stimulating environment for all ages. In Sondalo and Valdisotto, meanwhile, you can train on equipped walls with routes of varying difficulty, ideal for honing your technique or simply having fun in safety.

Mountaineering Crossing
Experience one of the most popular challenges among mountaineers
It is a mountaineering challenge that develops along the ridge, between 3,300 and 3,800 metres, on a multi-day itinerary through a series of peaks with spectacular views of the Ortles-Cevedale group and the surrounding valleys.
Starting from Pizzo Tresero, you'll reach Monte Cevedale, passing 11 other peaks that crown the head of the Forni Glacier. Partly on rock and partly on ice, be prepared for a strong adrenaline rush. It's an experience that requires a high level of mountaineering training and solid physical condition, but it rewards you with intense emotions and unforgettable memories.

In Bormio and the surrounding area, you can fish in pristine environments, but only on designated days and in designated areas and with the appropriate permits. Daily or seasonal permits can be purchased at our office and at all tourist offices in Alta Valtellina.
Remember that between the ages of 18 and 65, a regional B license is also mandatory. Before starting, always consult the provincial regulations and the fishing map to find out where and when fishing is permitted.

No experience or training is necessary: tandem flying is safe, suitable even for beginners, and always accompanied by a qualified instructor. All you need is a little courage and a desire to discover the mountains from a new perspective. The wind will do the rest.
Flying over Bormio is a lasting emotion. You can also request photos and videos of your flight to relive and share the experience. A unique way to make your vacation unforgettable—or make a truly special gift.
