The Tonale Pass, what to do and see
The border point between Lombardy and Trentino, the Tonale Pass is a panoramic natural amphitheatre framed by the Adamello‑Presanella, Ortles‑Cevedale, and Brenta mountain groups. From the 1,884 metres of the pass up to the 3,100 metres of the Presena Glacier, here, the mountains can be enjoyed all year round. In winter it is one of the most popular ski destinations in the Alps, with slopes for all levels and iconic descents such as the legendary Paradiso Black Run and the direct Presena–Tonale–Ponte di Legno descent. In summer it becomes the ideal starting point for walks, trekking, and MTB itineraries: even in the warm weather, the Paradiso and Presena cable cars stay open, making it possible to reach the glacier and discover the charm of high altitude.
