the skiing
With a compact lift system, guaranteed snow, runs mainly above the tree line and long hours of sunshine, Tonale fulfils the expectations of most skiers and offers excellent value for money.
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. Higher up is the glacier with guaranteed snow and with several ski lifts.
intermediate
From the halfway point of the Nigritella chairlift, the intermediate who takes the covered fast 4-seater chairlift to Cima Bleis will be rewarded with a long 4.5kms run in spectacular scenery. Climb higher on yet another bubble chair to the more challenging Contrabandieri with views across the whole valley.
beginner
With no less than 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.
family
Please call us for more information on childcare in this resort.
snowboarding
Passo Tonale is hiding some superb terrain up its sleeve. The avid free rider should hire a guide and head for the Pisgana trail, a 9 mile run that comes down from the Presena Glacier to Ponte di Legno. First timers will be pleased due to Tonale's wide easy terrain making learning a little less painful.
apres ski
There are numerous bars and cafés. As the lifts close, head to Bar Heaven at Happy Hour (2 drinks for the price of 1) for lively Après Ski. Three lively bars are Heaven Disco Pub, the Miramonti disco bar and Antares. Relax at El Bait, with traditional Alpine decor or La Botte with an interesting selection of wines.
