I’ve done it…….on a motorbike.
I can highly recommend hotel alu – a bike hotel right opposite the ski lifts. Ciara and beppe (the owners) will direct you to all sorts of hidden gems. Beppe got his map out for us every night to point out all sorts to him, he made the holiday for us as going there is the reason we got into MTBing in the first place.
Bormio is a fanastic wee town and the people are super nice. Pretty much everywhere is good for eating, especially around main square. If you get the chance to to livigno, we saw the Russian national team training when we were there along with some other countries we didn’t recognise….was seriously hard trying to overtake them in downhill hairpins, they go some speed!
Have a fantastic time. Enjoy the gelato.
