Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Just remembered that the skiing now links with Ponte di Legno which wasn't possible when I was there 3 years ago. This will increase the ski area and the ease of the link (from memory, you could ski there but had to bus back...). There is also skiing on both sides of the valley - hope this of some help

Kaito, welcome to snowHeads
I haven't done either of these but have been looking at options from Bergamo myself.
Aprica is a small resort but is quite close.
St Moritz (Switzerland) is about 2.5 hours away and is an option I am considering for the Christmas Hols.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Kaito, the skiing in Passo Tonale is much more extensive than Foppolo but I think it could still be a bit limited for a week.
In Tonale we stayed at the hotel directly across from the lifts in middle of town which was quite nice with good food. Think it may have been called Sporthotel something. It also had a good spa......

Anywhere in Val d'Aosta is reachable by Autostrada from Milan (though you're landing the other side of the city, if I remember where Bergamo is correctly) - you could even get a valley pass and ski several different resorts (esp. if you base yourself in Aosta itself which is reasonably central).

Sauze D'Oulx is only an hours drive/coach.
With a family I'd recommend one of the owner run hotels in the satellite resort of Jouvenceax. Much quieter than Sauze and with it's own lifts, shops, bars, food stops, etc. But only a five minute walk away from the town.

marc gledhill, actually though, because it is all motorway, viamichelin shows it as only being 2 1/4 hours from Bergamo so it is still very doable.
