Hi PowderManDan - that route sounds a lot quicker - but where is Moreno?

I tried asking google maps for a route from Venice to Ponte di Legno by public transport (I forgot to say Venice airport). It seems to be more or less the route SwingBeep suggested except that they reckon it would take 8 1/2 hours and he found a quicker way of doing it. This is what google maps said:

Let's hope Admin is laughing his socks off and isn't in a snippy sort of mood :)

You need to be really well-heeled to afford good quality snow boots these days ;)

Hi,
I think you might find getting there by public transport rather difficult.

The Flyski shuttle bus from the airports to Passo Tonale only goes from Milan Bergamo and Verona and it finishes on 6th April.

You could go by train from Venice to Trento via Verona, and then on the local train to Male, where there's supposed to be a coach to Passo Tonale (although the coach may well have stopped running by then as well). And - it will take ages, even if the coach is running!

I should think the best thing would be to e-mail the local tourist board about this. They were very helpful when I was contacting them about how to get to Folgarida from Verona airport.

You might end up having to hire a car. It's about a 3 1/2 hour drive from Venice airport to Passo Tonale.

Maybe it's on the wrong foot? ;)

That's only because you've got no sole ;)

You're quite right LOTA, you only get one day in the other resort with the 'shared' lift pass. It wouldn't be any good if Venere was thinking of spending half their time in each resort.

I only know about it because some people staying in the hotel with us in Obergurgl did this and one day they took the bus to Solden and skied there. It cost slightly more than the lift pass for Obergurgl alone, but nothing much.

So basically it's going to be raining in all 3 resorts over the next few days, except right at the top?
I think I'd go for the highest resort, Solden, and you could always get a joint lift pass and ski in Obergurgl as well.
But having said that, I haven't skied in any of those 3 resorts, only in Obergurgl, and I may well be totally wrong!

Best of luck with making this difficult decision, and I hope you get some good ski-ing (assuming you're a skier and not a boarder) whichever one you go to ...
