Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Location: snowHeadLand
Resort: Passe Tonale
Country: Italy
Domain: None I think
Author: Shane45

Date: 11-18th March 2006.
Our holiday: Group of 6, 40 somethings. From beginner thru to experienced.
Website : www.adamelloski.com
Basics : Edge of Dolomites. 2 3/4 hr transfer from Verona
Lift system : A few buttons for nursery slopes, mainly 4 man chairs and a gondola to access the Paradiso glacier.
The terrain : Most skiing on one side of the valley, good selection of reds, less blues. Other side of the valley
Only has a couple of reds and a nice black under the gondola. The Alpino 4.5km red is very nice run, from here you can
cross the road and ski onto the next village (Ponte Dilegno) down a 4km track. Beginners should avoid the first chair
in Ponte Dilegno as the ski down to the village is steep, but continue the track approx total 7km.
The snow : Good. Reported as 200cm at best, optomistic I believe. All pistes in excellent condition though.
Off-piste : Some but Avalanche warnings in place. There is a local company that offer off piste guiding.
The resort : Purpose built, not particularly attractive. There is a natural ice rink. Dog sledging available but I
thought very expensive.
Food : Food wasn't great in any place we tried. The reps pushed the Vittoria (think that's the right name)
(across the road from the main car park) which did a pizza/pasta & drink for 8 euros. I wouldn't want it every day as it was filling
but it was good. The pizza was better value than the pasta
Accommodation : Hotel Gardenia. Very clean family run hotel. Boot room underneath with heaters. Courtesy bus ran very
regularly dropping & picking up from the main car park..I wouldn't have wanted to walk this everyday. Some of our group found the food
tedious but there were 3 choices of starter / main / dessert everyday and a cold buffet as well. I think we were offered veal everyday
good if you like it.
Costs: £529/head h/b including skis & lift pass including £50 internet booking discount
Conclusion: Definitely plan to go back in the future but would probably plan to ski more on Pont Dilegno as its
very quiet over there and the runs are a bit more challenging and picturesque. Having said that there were virtually no
queues in Passe.
