On the Slopes
If you ski Passo Tonale as a family you will benefit from cruisy blues and great learner areas. There's plenty of beginner and intermediate terrain, with lifts taking you to the summit at 3010m, from where you can ski all the way back to the village over high-altitude terrain. You benefit from the ski area of the Skirama lift pass and are in the Val di Sole valley. Across the valley lie rolling pastures, with one lift that takes you to the old smuggling route of Passo Contrabbandieri at 2681m.
Ski Area
If you ski Passo Tonale you are also in the ski region of Skirama.
Off the Slopes
Passo Tonale ski resort is a low-key resort, not particularly pretty, but the prices, as in most Italian resorts, make up for a lot. It's a good place for families, with lots of easy slopes, a good ski school, and reasonable accommodation. However, if you are looking for a livelier après-ski scene or more challenging slopes, this is probably not the place for you.
Is It Right For You?
A great resort for beginners and intermediates with lots of wide cruisy runs. Great ski school.
