Curling
Bormio is one of the few Italian alpine locations to have an indoor curling rink, the only field in Lombardy dedicated exclusively to this unique and fun sport. In addition to providing you with the basic knowledge and necessary equipment, the Bormio Curling Group will help you take your first steps on the ice.
Between History and Myth
Curling was probably invented in Scotland in the 16th century, as evidenced by the discovery of a stone dated 1511 in an old pond in Dunblane. The sport still has a strong following in Canada, Switzerland, and Northern European countries, and thanks to recent editions of the Olympic Games, it has gained recognition in Italy for its uniqueness. Although it is still not very widespread, we recommend trying a game: you will have a lot of fun. Stones and brooms to reach the house Each team, composed of four members, must throw heavy polished granite stones, called stones, towards the house, a series of concentric rings of different colors painted on the opposite side of the rink. The team that gets closest to the center of the house wins. To assist, while one team member throws the stone, the others use small brooms to smooth the ice in front of it, trying to regulate its speed and direction. To allow the stones to slide with the least friction possible, the ice is carefully prepared and leveled.
