Alpine Skiing at the Passo Tonale Ski Resort

By: Roberto Bell

Some of them are the Madonna di Campiglio, the Pinzolo, the Fogarida-Marilleva, the Pejo, the Ponte di Legno, the Andalo-Fai della Paganella, the Folgaria Lavarone, the Monte Bondone, and the Passo del Tonale. No ski enthusiast would pass up the chance to access the more than 223 miles of ski slopes and numerous off-pistes. Of these ski resorts, the one found at the highest elevation is the new ski resort of Passo Tonale.

Due to its location, the new ski resort in Passo Tonale guarantees excellent snow conditions, especially during the winter season. During the summer season, the snow is augmented by 150 snow cannons. Thus, it is always winter in the new ski resort of Passo Tonale. This means that skiers can come any time of the year and still find mile and miles of ice snowy ski slopes.

There are two drawbacks to the new ski resort. First, it is not ideal for people who are acrophobic. But then again, no real skier is afraid of heights. The new ski resort in Passo Tonale offers genuine alpine skiing with the majority of its ski slopes located above the tree line. The level of difficulty for most of the ski slopes is suitable for beginners and intermediate skiers. But the expert skiers will find pistes to the Presena glacier challenging and exhilarating. The Presena glacier can be easily accessed from the Passo Tonale's new ski resort. In this area, the expert skiers are challenged to conquer the difficult black runs.

Within the new ski resort, the beginners and skiers can enjoy plenty of opportunities to perfect their skiing skills. But Passo Tonale is for serious skiers only. This is the second drawback. The apres ski is low-key. Although there are several pubs that are open late at night, these are not considered major centers for social interactions. Thus, if a visitor is simply looking for opportunities to gain new friends, then the Passo Tonale is not the right place.

Most of the visitors in new ski resort in Passo Tonale simply rest at night to regain their strength and to prepare for long hours of skiing during the day. This new ski resort is the ideal training area for beginners and intermediate skiers. There are 54 miles of downhill runs and 19 miles of cross-country trails. There are 30 ski lifts that will take 33,000 skiers per hour to the top of the slopes. And there is a first-rate ski school where exceptional and professional ski instructors can be found.

Since skiers come to this new ski resort to train, the accommodations are simple and affordable. There are no Jacuzzis but skiers will still find their nights comfortable and warm. Even in August, the atmosphere in the new ski resort is still chilly. But the simplicity of accommodations may not always be the case as the future unfolds. The reputation of this new ski resort is growing by leaps and bounds. In fact, several new 3-storey hotels are already being constructed while the old ones are being renovated. Hopefully, the sheer stark beauty of the simple snowy landscapes of this new ski resort will remain the same.
