The ski area of the Passo del Tonale is definitely one of the best destinations for off-piste skiing in western Trentino thanks to a series of favorable characteristics such as elevation (ranging between 1,900 and 3,000 meters a.s.l.), exposure (mainly northerly) and the morphology of the mountain which offers a range of valleys and ravines with varying slopes and difficulty levels.
