Italian ski resorts not only have melodic names, but are also appreciated by fans of flying down the slope with a breeze for their excellent technical equipment, well-groomed tracks and magnificent views that open to the eyes of the athlete. Part of the Italian mountains - the Dolomites National Park - is recognized by UNESCO as a part of the world cultural heritage. The resorts of Italy are not considered the cheapest, but they surprise not only with their ideal state, but also with a well-oiled infrastructure that allows you to spend your holidays or vacations in a varied and exciting way.
All resorts in Italy, which are engaged in winter sports, are located in six regions. The Dolomites and Alta Valtellina are especially popular with snowboarders around the world.

This is one of the most modern and new resorts with a hotel fund with affordable and comfortable "three rubles". The skiing season starts at the beginning of winter and lasts for four months. There are 5 snow parks open for boarders at the resort, in each of which you can get weekly freestyle lessons.

Evening entertainment is represented by baths, saunas and restaurants with a dance floor, and in their free time from snowboarding, guests of the resort go sledging, take to the sky on a paraglider and play tennis.
Bormio resort in Alta Valtellina
The main entertainment of the local boarders is the BORMIO 2000 snow park, which stretches for 600 meters and has a vertical drop from 2300 to 2000 meters.
