Intermediates perhaps have thre most to enjoy. A local favourite is the 4.5km run down from the Cima Bleis covered quad chair, or the Valbiolo trail to the east, accessed by another fast quad. For experts, the Paradiso run is one of the best, dropping a stomach-lifting 700m over its 2km length. The world famous off piste Pisgana slope is also here, one of the most challenging in Europe, at 14km long with a 2000 metre vertical drop - one of the world's greatest.

Some Facts about Passo Tonale

Tonale Pass (In Italian, Passo del Tonale), situated at an altitude of 1883 meters (6178 ft.) above sea leavel is a high mountain pass in northern Italy across the Rhaetian Alps, between Lombardy and Trentino. It connects Valcamonica and Val di Sole. It is delimited by the Ortler Alps to the north and the Adamello range to the south. This pass plays host to many hotels and shops for tourists in the winter, as the land around the pass is used for winter sports - mainly skiing (see Adamello Ski Raid) and snowboarding. Located on the administrative border between the province of Brescia and the province of Trento, urban planning has developed in recent decades outside of the rules, with excessive speculation which led to the strong contrast between the architecture, definitely outsized, and surrounding environment, destroying permanently the serene mountain landscape that characterized him even in the sixties of the twentieth century.
