I Navigli

This area in Milan offers reasonably-priced restaurants and some of the city's most exciting nightclubs.

The canal path is a lovely setting for an afternoon stroll - as I did - or you can come here after 6pm when the evenings liven up with happy hour for food and drink at the many bars and restaurants that line the paths. It's a picturesque setting with walkways both sides of the canal and various bridges on route to stop and take photos from.

We spent a morning hiking part of the trail, in each direction, from the station of the tram. The views were incredible and the little stores were charming. The cathedral/monastery was amazing. We were with all of our adult children and grand children. Everyone enjoyed the spectacular views. It was a cold winter day but the sun was out and the hiking kept us warm. I wish that we could have spent more time there but we had to leave after about three hours.

Our resort has been chosen to host the 2026 Olympic Winter Games. Bormio Ski is defined as the vertical fun for its slopes over 3,000 meters, a vertical drop of 1,800 meters and fun attractions like the funslopes, floodlit slopes and the snowpark.

Reviewed By SJK60 - Surrey, United Kingdom

Slopes are accessible from the town, lots of Hotels and typical Italian shops and cafes. Lots of varied skiing going as high as Bormio 3000. Also good for late season skiers and non skiers as plenty of activities available in the town when the snow has gone in the valley but remains on the mountain. Plenty of mountain bars in which to take a break from the skiing.
