Culture and Tradition

Traditions

Bormio is still firmly rooted in its traditions.

Among the most important traditions:

“Gabinat” is a custom on Epiphany where, since ancient times, the inhabitants of Bormio have greeted each other by saying the expression "gabinat". The first of the two who manages to utter the word, according to custom, is entitled to receive a gift from the other. The dialect term 'gabinat' derives from the German gabe-nacht (night of gifts).

“L'è fora genejron”, meaning the evening of the 31st of January, involves children making as much noise as possible on that day with the intention of awakening the spring.

L’ “Ors fora dala tana” , celebrated on the 2nd of February, involves luring someone out of their home with a pretext or ruse. This tradition is also linked to the arrival of spring when the bear, once widespread in these areas, came out of its long winter hibernation.

Il Palio delle Contrade, a sporting challenge on skis between the five districts (Buglio, Combo, Dossorovina, Maggiore, Dossiglio).
“Podestà dei Mat”, celebrated during carnival week and traditionally called the 'Carnival of the Fools'. At which time, the so-called 'Compagnia dei Matti', made up of young people from the village, identified a person who would be crowned 'Podestà dei Mat', reigning over the county and ousting the real authorities.

I Pasquali , which take place on Easter Day, are an attraction for both locals and the many tourists who visit Bormio. A parade of floats carried on the shoulders of artisans from the various districts of Bormio. The participants, for the occasion, cross the Via Roma in typical costumes from Bormio to the Piazza del Kuerc to receive the blessing.

The carrying of the Holy Crucifixkept in the Church of San Antonio Abate in the Combo district, is a heartfelt religious custom in which homage is paid to the Holy Crucifix of Combo. It is carried through the streets of the village to the Parish Church of Saints Gervasio and Protasio, where it remains exposed for three days for the adoration of the population.
