driving Bergamo airport to Bormio,

arriving 020118, car booked, anybody drove it before.

Haven't driven up to Bormio but have gone from Bergamo up to the Val di Fassa.

Most of the journey is on motorway and low down so no issues there, though it can be very busy but tends to keep moving. Probably some tolls but not too expensive.

Once you get up into the mountains, it can get interesting if there is fresh snow. I would definitely try to get a car with winter tyres (not always easy in Bergamo but so worth it). Chains are, in my view, a necessity as well though it is unlikely that you will need to use them. However, if the snow is bad and you don't have them, then you will be in big trouble.

I've driven from Milan past Bormio to Santa Caterina and back a couple of times, and the only problems were between Bormio & Santa Caterina.

If you've got a car then I recommend you have a day or two at Santa Caterina. The pistes are far less crowded.

Also, across the road to the west of Bormio you have another little resort Colombano. The pistes here are practically deserted! There is a fantastic run from the top down to the bottom (where the ghastly pink gondala starts), Beautiful wide piste, reminiscent of skiing in America, and you might not see a soul. Be warned though that when I was last there, the lifts on the Bormio side of the hill were desperately slow and it can be bitterly cold in January.
