Ponte di Legno is
situated in the heart of the Alps between two of the biggest and most
important Alps massifs: on one side the Ortles-Cevedale, on the other the
Adamello-Presanella. The uncontaminated nature and the magic of the peaks
make this resort fascinating and offer to all mountain lovers the vaste
silence and the beauty of these places.
Ponte di Legno is in Val Camonica, one of the largest valleys, surrounded by
the Adamello glaciers and the waters of Iseo lake. The most ancient
civilization of this valley is called Camuna: the rock paintings in Capo di
Ponte, 40 Km from Ponte di Legno, show an active prehistoric settlement.
Ponte di Legno-Tonale has always been considered a very important resort for
the mountain tourism both in winter and in summer. The skiing district is
covered with a thick net of modern climbing systems and ski slopes of
different levels. Most of them are provided with artificial snow and it is
possible to use them with the same Adamello Skipass. They are situated in
different areas: through the woods overlooking the Residence the ski slopes
of Tonale allow you to ski freely along all the slopes, whereas those of
Glacier Presena give you the possibility to practise summer skiing up to
3000 mt.
Ponte di Legno is not only skiing. The natural parks of Stelvio and Adamello
offer the best to people who love climbing or, simply, walking and getting
away from the stressful cities, in an uncontaminated environment with rich
flora and fauna. It is also very easy to make daily trips to tourist
destinations such as Livigno, St. Moritz, Madonna di Campiglio.
