2012: Passo Tonale Freeski

Scott Freeride Passo Tonale

Price: 1,050 EUR

All around Passo Tonale we will find perfect terrain for Freeriding in an extra class.For Italians, Passo Tonale is well known as a family ski area. But not so the northern sides of the Pass. The name of the cable car tells its own story, Funivia Passo Paradiso. At the end of the cable car a chair and a draglift takes us up to the 3000 meter high Presena Glacier. From here we have the choice to ski down the northern side slopes to Val Presena or climb up for 40 minutes and reach the glacier of Buzzata and ski down to the Ponte Alpini more than 1700 vertical meters. If you like steep couloirs at Punta de Castellagio you will find perfect ones. Also from Passo Diavolo there is an incredible chute of 800 verticales down to Passo Tonale. The easier looking side of Passo Tonale has incredible potential for great freerides. On stormy days we usually ski in the area directly above the charming town of Ponte di Legno. If you want to experience a very unique Freeride Area, the circuit around Passo Tonale is ideal.
