Passo Tonale is strung along a high mountain pass, with most hotels right on the broad snow-front for true ski-in/ski-out.
Passo Tonale straddles a high mountain pass at 1883 m between the Lombardy and Trentino sides of the Alps, with skiing that climbs to the Presena glacier at 3016 m and stays snow-sure well into May. Its 100 km of piste are unusually wide and gentle, making it a favourite for beginners and ski schools, and prices are markedly lower than the famous Italian names. With the Adamello Ski pass linking to Ponte di Legno, it is one of the best snow bets in the Italian Alps for the same money.
