Italy’s fastest growing ski area is dramatically located in a wide, sunny valley on the border of Trento and Lombardy. The ski area has been recently extended with the development of pistes and lifts around Ponte di Legno and Temu. A two-stage cable car now links Passo Tonale and Ponte di Legno opening up a continuous 11km descent from Presena to Ponte di Legno. Skiing is possible on both sides of the valley on mainly north and south-facing pistes above the tree line. As well as beginners, the resort increasingly attracts good intermediates. These can now develop their off-piste technique with courses which are available locally and run by expert local Alpine Guides. The village itself is compact with hotels and numerous bars, cafés and good value restaurants.
