So what's it like?
Great slopes for beginners and intermediates in an informal, fun resort
A snow-sure resort with long hours of sunshine. The excellent skiing together with an efficient lift system, very little queuing and good value for money make Passo Tonale an ideal choice for all levels. Lifts linking Passo Tonale to the nearby resort of Ponte di Legno open up a whole new accessible area. Most lifts serve wide, sunny south-facing slopes, many covered by snowmaking facilities whilst on the other side of the valley the cable car will whisk you up to the Paradiso area and the Presena Glacier. The snowboard park with rails and half pipe is fun for both skiers and boarders alike.
Ski information
Beginners
With 6 lifts for the beginner at village level, progress for first timers is normally fast and satisfying. Under careful tuition from the excellent English speaking instructors, in a few days the beginner is up on the higher slopes.
Intermediates
Intermediates can take the covered fast 4-seater chairlift to Cima Bleis to be rewarded with a long 4.5kms run in spectacular scenery. Head up the Valbiolo valley on the other side of Tonale and climb higher again to the more challenging Contrabandieri run with views across the whole valley.With an area lift pass, you can also enjoy the skiing at Marilleva or Madonna di Campiglio, linked by skibus.
Advanced
There are some fast runs in Passo Tonale. On the south side of the village the Paradiso cable car rises to 2,585m and from here there is a knee trembling black run under the cable car. From the top of the glacier there are some great off-piste routes that a local guide will be able to show you, or further down in Ponte di Legno there are some great blacks through the trees.
Nightlife
Numerous bars and cafés ranging from relaxing bars to lively nightclubs. Try: • Bar Heaven at Happy Hour for lively après ski • Miramonti nightclub • Antares nightclub • El Bait for a relaxing atmosphere with traditional Alpine decor • La Botte for a good wine selection
Activities
Swimming pool at Ponte di Legno, discounted entry with lift pass (swimming hats must be worn), natural ice rink, fitness room, beauty centre, cross-country skiing, skidoos and tobogganing with dedicated toboggan lift
