The main resort base sits at a lofty 1883m, which allied to an impressive snowmaking system gives Passo Tonale one of the longest and most reliable ski seasons in the Alps.
There are great beginner facilities, over 60% of the slopes are marked as red – making this an excellent place for keen intermediate piste skiers – and there is also access to the Presena Glacier at 3000m. The resort itself is designed with only skiing in mind and there are several larger apartment blocks, but most of these are more attractive than some of the concrete jungles across the border in France.
Pros and cons
- One of the Alps’ best value and snowsure resorts
- Great beginner areas and progression on to longer blues
- A very good lift system, with mostly fast quad chairlifts and gondolas
- Treeless setting suffers in bad weather – head down towards Ponte di Legno
- Village is strung out along the main road
- Not a huge amount to do away from the slopes
On the Slopes
For beginners there are some fantastic, sunny learning areas on the edge of the resort. From this point there is excellent progression on to longer blues, with most runs being served by fast quad chairlifts. Intermediates will enjoy the longer reds on the sunny side of the valley and also the runs on the Presena Glacier, but less confident skiers or boarders may want to download the final section to avoid the steeper black return run. A trip to the pretty wooded slopes of Ponte di Legno is also recommended, particularly in bad weather.
Although it has a family and beginner friendly reputation, Passo Tonale offers up some decent pistes for experts – especially the descent from the glacier and also on the slopes of Corno d’Aola above Ponte di Legno. Due to the altitude, any fresh snow usually stays cold and dry, meaning that the off piste often retains great snow – this is certainly an underrated facet of the resort.
In the Resort
The resort is spread out along the road, which does mean that through-traffic can be an issue and some accommodation is a walk away from the lifts. However, that accommodation is very family-friendly – including a number of big hotels with good facilities – and is generally very good value, even during the main holiday weeks. Alternative options include the lower villages of Temu and Ponte di Legno.
Away from the slopes there isn’t a vast amount to entertain children, book a big hotel if you’re looking for post-skiing activities or things to do in an afternoon off. The après is increasingly lively, with some good bars utilising the sunny plateau and the foot of the slopes – and the great thing here is that a round of drinks won’t break the bank.
Getting to Passo Tonale
The nearest airport is Bergamo and it lies around two hours drive to the south of the resort. Verona is another option at two and a half hours drive, as are the two Milan airports – both of these are around three hours drive away.
* Bergamo airport: 2 hours
* Verona airport: 2.5 hours
* Milan Malpensa/Linate airports: 3 hours

Snow Overview
Italy
Updated 02/05
The weekend opens warm across Italy, with the freezing line hovering around 3,500m. This will fall over the course of the weekend and into the new week, and as a layer of cloud cover moves in this brings with it precipitation.
This will fall as snow in parts especially across the northern Alps. Up to 20cm could fall in the Dolomites and elsewhere, primarily across higher ground as the freezing line remains above 2,000m when the snow arrives. A brief flash of sun through the middle of new week before another burst of unsettled weather moves in over the region later in the week.
Thus concludes the Ski Club’s snow overviews for the 2024/25 season; thank you to everyone who’s tuned in over the course of the season, and we look forward to seeing you again soon!
