#6: Bornio

Nestled high in the Italian alps is the picture-perfect ski resort of Bornio. Bornio has long been known for not only its famous skiing but its incredible beauty. The Italian mountainsides are home to incredible Roman-esque architecture, making it seem like you've stepped back in time the moment you reach Bornio's snow covered slopes.

Of course, none of this is to say that Bornio is a well kept secret (or even a secret at all). In fact, over 16,000 skiers and snowboarders brave the Italian alps every hour in search of fun and adventure. Don't let that stop you, though: Bornio is beautiful enough to brave the crowds. Waking up in Bornio is like waking up on the cover of a Christmas card.

Bornio is the perfect location for a romantic getaway with a touch of adventure underneath. The runs are pretty evenly divided between beginner, intermediate, and expert, so no matter your skill level, you're sure to find something to your taste. The resort also has the standard ski schools. Start your day off with a trip up the slopes, spend the afternoon at one of Bornio's world famous thermal spas, and relax for dinner in a beautiful Roman restaurant, enjoying the glittering snow and night time sky. Bornio is a great spot for a picture-perfect holiday!
