Nature, history and art. The Stelvio National Park covers 65% of the Bormio region. In summer and winter, come and discover the extraordinary historical and artistic heritage contained in these valleys.
The Stelvio National Park is the largest of the original Italian national parks. It was founded in 1935 and occupies an area of 530 km², the same size as the Isle of Man! The centre of the park is the Ortles-Cevedale range of mountains and it extends outwards across parts of Lombardy, South Tyrol and Trentino.
The part in Lombardy, which includes Bormio, is the largest of the three sectors of the park, covering around 60,000 ha.
