The Skiers' Guide to Ghiacciaio Presena

Although a relatively small resort, the reds and blacks are plentiful, and even a few nice long blues. Lots of powder whilst we were there. Found myself out of breath a bit from the altitude, but that just means it was a good week of exercise. Would highly recommend the paradise band events playing on ice instruments. Some very talented people!

This is basically 3 pistes. A black from the top down the face of the glacier which is gradually getting steeper, a blue along the bowl to a ridge and a second black from the ridge down into Tonale Pass.

The blacks are exciting, the blue is pretty but can be really frustrating especially for boarders who will need a tow from a ski-buddy.

Due to global warming there is no year round skiing anymore, I believe they stopped that in the 2010's or even earlier. In fact in summer they cover the glacier in white tarp to try to reduce its melting.

Do go in February and check out the music festival in an ice cavern and the rest of the Tonale-Pontedilegno-Temu resorts.
