OK!...lets say
you are reading this report directly from your
computer screen in, say, Tokyo.
This is about to be your first ski foray into Europe, and someone has told
you that Italy is very good value at the moment. So far so good. But you
want to visit the real Italy. You want to prowl the old streets, eat at
real traitorous, drink red wine with the locals.
At the same time you really do not want to surrender your creature
comforts. After all you have worked long and hard to be able to take the
time to enjoy this holiday, and you really are not interested in roughing
it.
Try
Bormio The resort is neatly divided into an "old town"
and a "new town" and each in its own right
should deliver exactly what you feel you might be looking
for.
Bormio in Italy's Sondrio province is a unique
combination of the old and the new. It is a mountain
town at the foot of Passo Stelvio, which, by the way, is
open to skiers and cars only in summer. The old town
which is where the majority of shopping and some of the
hotels are located, still retains much of its magical
Italian charm and way of life.
Meanwhile
in the newer part of town close to the ski lifts to Bormio two and three
thousand, the place almost has a purpose-built aura about it.
What
it lacks in style, however, it more than makes up for in
convenience. However the old town is where you will best get a taste of
true Italian life, especially in the evenings. Here, a maze of small lanes
zig and zag in all directions from the main street, and, especially around
five o'clock in the evening, hordes of Italians can be seen doing exactly
what Italians love to do so much; namely put on some nice clothes and walk
up and down the street primarily for the benefit of the other Italians who
are doing precisely the same thing. It's traditional you see. But you are
interested in Bormio for a ski holiday, aren't you? Well consider this.
