But we certainly cannot talk about Ponte di Legno without mentioning Passo del Tonale at least once. In fact, immediately after the town begins the steep climb that leads to the province of Trento, the culmination of which is the famous Passo del Tonale, now more than ever at the center of mountain tourism in these areas, both summer and winter. Many excursions depart from here and you can reach the Presena Glacier and thus find snow even in the height of summer.
Both from Ponte di Legno and Passo del Tonale are the starting point for most of the hiking trails in the area, from simple walkways suitable for families with children to the more challenging via ferrata on the peaks of the Adamello-Brenta Natural Park, the hiking offer is really wide and it is difficult to be disappointed by the panoramic and historical points of interest offered by these mountains.

After a day spent outdoors to welcome tourists are the numerous bars and restaurants of Ponte di Legno with the welcome of the mountain people and the genuine products produced in these fantastic lands.
