Passo Tonale School Ski Trips
A Friendly Resort with Great Sunshine Records
The Resort:
As one of Italy’s highest resorts with 100km of piste brilliantly designed for beginner, intermediate and advanced skiers, it is no surprise that Passo Tonale is an extremely popular resort for school trips. Mounting the provinces of Trento and Lombardy the resort sits at 1885m providing spectacular sun-soaked views throughout the year, making it an ideal location for your perfect school ski trip.
Skiing in Passo Tonale:
With 200 snow cannons and consistently good snow at 1885m, it is one of the largest and most reliable ski seasons in the Alps, guaranteeing top-class skiing for your trip. At 11km with a 1740m drop, the resort has one of the longest ski slopes in the region, as well as a 4.5km Alpino red run along the top of the mountain with truly spectacular scenery. There is also a great variety of intermediate slopes including longer blues and reds, while those who want a challenge can take on the Paradiso 3km black run. Skiing is not the only sport the resort excels in as the Adamello Freestyle Arena provides a variety of jumps for snowboarders. Why not try something different with the 1000m snow cross that is also available or trek to the glorious Presena Glacier located at a spectacular 3000m
For Schools Because:
This stunning resort is known for its specialism with beginners, with its 100km of piste including many wide runs to build confidence, making it so popular with school groups of mixed abilities. These beginner slopes link to blue and red slopes which helps students push themselves more and more as they become advanced skiers. The superb range of ski schools and instructors further guarantees the development of beginner skiers. On top of this, the resort is improving and becoming more popular. However, this isn’t a problem as lift queues are nearly non-existent which helps keep the slopes quieter, allowing for maximum skiing time for your students.
Après Ski:
Purpose-built for skiing, the resort has a peaceful charm surrounding it, with relaxed and cosy restaurants. Activities such as tubing, ice skating, tobogganing, and Skidoo rides are also available for those not wiped out by a thrilling day full of skiing. The public swimming pool ‘Butterfly Indoor Pool’ is a great activity for an afternoon spent away from the slopes.
