Private Transfer Milan
& Malpensa to Tonale
Door-to-door Mercedes with an English-speaking driver from your Milan hotel, Linate, Bergamo or Malpensa arrivals to your hotel in Passo del Tonale or Ponte di Legno, in the Pontedilegno-Tonale ski area with the Presena Glacier. About 3 hours from Milan up the Val Camonica, all in Italy and open all winter, from €575 per car.
Milan or Malpensa to Passo del Tonale by Private Car
A private transfer from Milan to Passo del Tonale covers about 175 km and takes around 3 hours: the A4 motorway to Bergamo, then the road up the Val Camonica past Lake Iseo, Lovere, Breno and Edolo to Ponte di Legno, and the last 11 km up to the pass at 1,883 m. From Linate it takes about 2 h 45 and from Bergamo, the closest Milan airport, about 2 h 10. From Malpensa it is about 3 h 10. The price is for the whole car, not per person, and includes fuel, motorway tolls and parking.
The whole route is in Italy, with no tunnel toll and no vignette. Tonale is itself a pass, on the border between Lombardy and Trentino, and the road over it is kept open all winter; closures are rare and short, after very heavy snowfall. The Gavia Pass from Bormio, by contrast, is closed from autumn to late spring, and we never use it in winter. By public transport the trip means a train from Milan to Brescia, the local line up the valley to Edolo and a bus to Ponte di Legno and the pass: four hours or more with your ski bags on every step.
We drive to every hotel and residence at Passo del Tonale and in Ponte di Legno, Temù and Vermiglio, close to the lifts of the Pontedilegno-Tonale ski area and the cable car to the Presena Glacier, and on request on to Madonna di Campiglio in the Val di Sole. Check your price and book online →

Is the road to Passo del Tonale open in winter?
Yes. Tonale is itself a mountain pass, on the border between Lombardy and Trentino, and the road over it is kept open all winter. After very heavy snowfall chains can be required or the road can close for a few hours; our cars carry winter tyres and chains and we follow the road reports on the day.
Do you use the Gavia Pass?
Not in winter. The Gavia Pass between Ponte di Legno and Bormio is closed from autumn to late spring, so in the ski season Bormio and Livigno are reached through the Valtellina. In winter we always drive to Tonale through the Val Camonica, or from Lake Como over the Aprica Pass, which is also open all year.

There is no train to the pass. You can take a train from Milan to Brescia, the local line up the Val Camonica to Edolo and then a bus to Ponte di Legno and Tonale: four hours or more with changes. A private car takes about 3 hours to your hotel door.

Which Airport for Tonale: Bergamo, Linate or Malpensa?
Bergamo is the closest Milan airport to Passo del Tonale, about 2 h 10 by car, and it is also the cheapest transfer, from €420. Linate is about 2 h 45 and Malpensa about 3 h 10. Malpensa has the most long-haul and international flights, so many of our guests land there and drive straight to the Val Camonica. Whichever airport you fly into, we meet you inside arrivals and drive you to the door of your hotel.
Passo del Tonale, Ponte di Legno and the Presena Glacier
Passo del Tonale lies at 1,883 m on the border between Lombardy and Trentino. Its slopes are linked by lift with Ponte di Legno and Temù on the Lombardy side, forming the Pontedilegno-Tonale ski area, and a cable car climbs to the Presena Glacier at about 3,000 m, where the season starts early and ends late. The pass is high and open, so the resort is known for reliable snow from late autumn to spring.
Practical Tips: Winter Roads, Closed Passes and the Drive Back
The road over the Tonale Pass is kept open all winter; after heavy snowfall chains can be required for a few hours, and our cars are equipped for winter. The Gavia Pass towards Bormio is closed from autumn to late spring, so in winter Bormio and Livigno are reached through the Valtellina, never over the Gavia. For an afternoon flight from Malpensa, we usually suggest leaving Tonale about five and a half hours before take-off, and about four and a half hours for Bergamo.
