Rules of conduct on ski pistes in Italy

In order to ensure safety on the ski pistes in Italy, new safety regulations will come into force from 2022.

Drunken skiing is prohibited and punishable by heavy fines, with a maximum of 0.5 mg of alcohol per litre of blood. To reduce the risk of injury, helmets are also compulsory for all minors when skiing, snowboarding or tobogganing.

Night skiing Passo del Tonale

Passo del Tonale is located between Val di Sole in Trentino and Valle Camonica in Lombardia and offers plenty of opportunities to conquer the slopes even after sunset. On several slopes, skiing enthusiasts can make their turns in the dark under the starry night sky. You can do this, for example, on the Pista Valbione near Ponte di Legno. Here, the lift extends its operating hours during the high season on Wednesdays and Saturdays from 20:30 to 23:00. The slope is about 1.2 km long and is accessed by a 4-seater chairlift. In addition to the Pista Valbione, the chairlift on the Valena slope in Passo del Tonale also works a late shift. Here, night owls have the opportunity to ski down the approximately one-kilometre-long piste every Tuesday and Thursday from 20:30 to 23:00.

Après ski Passo del Tonale

After a strenuous and energy-sapping day of skiing, the partly rustic mountain huts and bars in the surrounding villages invite you to linger. Over a glass of wine or a slice of pizza, you can look back on the day in a convivial atmosphere. If you also want a breathtaking panorama, the Sky Bar at 3,000 m above sea level is the place to be. For all those who would like to end a long day on the slopes on a sporty note, there is the possibility of proving oneself as a so-called musher on a sledge pulled by huskies in Ponte di Legno, 10 km away. For a romantic winter experience, go horseback riding or take a horse-drawn carriage ride through the snow-covered mountain landscape. In Trentino, however, there are even more activities waiting for you off the slopes: at the Trentino Ski Sunrise, you have the opportunity to be one of the first to make your turns in the freshly prepared snow and enjoy the beautiful landscape at the same time. Or dare an adventure and try your hand at ice climbing. Accompanied by a guide, you will be equipped with crampons, ice axe and helmet and are guaranteed to experience real thrills!

Snowpark: Snowpark Passo del Tonale

The Snowpark Tonale is 700 m long and is located in the Pontedilegno Tonale ski area. This ultimate area with a ski cross slope, chill-out zone, experts' and beginners' areas is a dream for freestylers.

The Passo del Tonale Snowpark is separated into two sections. Here, beginners and pros will find more than 25 obstacles incl. a kicker, boxes and jibs. On the upper end, you have the more difficult and challenging jumps, further down there are smaller and lower obstacles for everyone to practise. At the practice slope, the "easy area", particularly simple obstacles can be found for the very first steps.

On top of the two parks, there is a 1 km ski and snowboard cross with waves and steep corners. A highlight that awaits all year round at the Presena Glacier: there is a snowpark at 3,000 m altitude which is open right up to the summer months - the perfect spot for everlasting freestyle fun.
