I went there about six years ago, and have never been back as I had the best
skiing holiday I've ever had, and don't want to spoil the memory by going again, (its never the same 2nd time around) When we arrived in Tonale it was late afternoon snowing mist and very bleak looking. A passing rep said rather glumly that it was always like this in Tonale. Next morning and for the next eight days bright sun and powder. It is a high resort well above the tree line with a mixture of easy slopes and a more challenging reds , a couple of blacks right at the top. We met up with a two or three other groups of mixed skiing ability, everyone enjoyed their holiday . The bars in town are ok, There is an ice rink , when we were there there was floodlit skiing I think about once every couple of nights which are great fun. Skidoo trips at night up to mountains restaurants and flare torch descents!. 90% of resort is on one side of the valley. Since on the last day I was looking after less adventurous skiers we stayed in the main resort. and had a great last day. On the other side of the valley a cable car makes an as cent to an area of red runs very high up. The only way down is a black run which my companions said was not a red run in disguise but a pure black icy run down to the valley below. I always regret about not doing this run. and got bored with intrepid tales of those who spent there last day there. You will enjoy Tonale ,don't be put off by first appearance its a great little place. ps let us know if you do "THE Big Black run across the road" Have a good time Issy. "Ignat" wrote in message ...

I can thoroughly recommend Passo Tonale, skied there twice and going again
next year. A good spot to socialize is the bar under the Sport Vittoria Hotel, just opposite the Ski school meeting place. happy hour 4:30 till 5:30. Skied the big black, along with my 11 year old twins, its steep at the top but widens towards the bottom and its a blast!! Good hotels are the Sport Vittoria and the Miramonti, right opposite the ski school and lifts. "jls.ingram" wrote in message ...

Tahnks for Your help skiers
Uzytkownik "David Mahon" napisal w wiadomosci ... In article , Ignat writes Hello!! I'm going to Tonale (Italy) this year. Please tell me if it's a good place for skiing? Has anyone been there before? I went there in 2000 I think. Unfortunately, despite it's high altitude, the snow was scanty (late in season) off the glacier. The glacier itself (on the other side of the road) was icy. It's all above the tree line, so it's a bit bleak if the weather was bad. There aren't that many restaurants. On the plus side, the pistes weren't at all crowded and there was little queuing for lifts. I'm quite experienced skiier, so tell me please if Tonale is a place where I can have some fun? I can't say it was any more than OK. But the snow was poor that year so maybe it isn't normally like that. Also I would appreciate infos regarding some good places to spend evenings like bars, pubs etc. At night it's reasonably quiet. There are a few biger bars that have happy hours just after the pistes close, which is the only time they seemed to be busy. -- David Mahon |
