Passo is a lovely resort......but we flew there and had a really short transfer with our 3 yr old (I think it was about 1.5 hrs max transfter). The conditions are great in Passo right now but its a high altitude resort and gets a lot of snow. I wouldn't be that happy driving up the narrow route without snow chains etc....
which hotel are you staying at? Our little boy learnt to ski there. I would like to go back, but we have a bad habit of trying out different resorts.......so its been ticked off the list and we have moved on...........
edited, cos my lad was 3 in Italy... 5 in Lapland!

We're sorted for snow chains etc
Stopping at the Adamello Hotel - it gets good reviews on trip advisor.
We're the same, rarely visit the same resort twice (with the exception of Livigno).
Our daughter learnt to Ski in St Johan, Austria last year - so it'll be good to see how she is this year.
Thought about flying - but would have still had to hire a car - so would rather use a car we're used to driving!!

We have fond memories of Passo... waking to find we had had two foot of snow overnight.....and were snowed in the hotel for the day..we struggled through to the bar obviously. The level of tuition there was excellent. I think Ben was just 3 when we took him and he was competantly using button lift on the lower slopes on his own within the first week...mad Italian instruction!!!!
Its a long old journey given the weather conditions Europe and UK are going through right now.... but well worth it if you have the extra couple of days leave. We bought our son a sledge while we were out there and dragged him around the main street when we werent skiing!

We did it...it was brilll!!!!
Overnight ferry from Hull to Rotterdam.
Drove through Holland, Belgium, France, Switzerland (stopped overnight on Swiss / German border in Bad Sackingen), carried on the next day to St Moritz for Lunch (with brief stop in Liechenstein for that all important family picture by the Country Sign) - then onto Passo Tonale. 48 hours from door to door, but that was with plenty of stops and enjoying the journey.
Fantastic week skiing in Passo Tonale and Ponte Di Legno - def one of the best resorts I've been to and I've been to quite a few!!!
Travelled back heading to Innsbruck through Austria and Germany (stopping over in Mannheim - lovely city) then heading for a 'rough' (understatement!!) crossing back to Hull.
First time I've driven to a Ski resort and whilst this was probably the furthest one to drive to, it was worth it - some of the views on the journey were breathtaking - will definitely do it again - in fact I can't imagine having to go through the stress of using an airport again - but might choose a closer resort next time.
