There are many famous, well-equipped ski resorts in the province of
Brescia from which interesting excursions can be made.
Upper Valcamonica
 In
Valcamonica up in the glaciers of the Adamello
range, Ponte di Legno and Tonale-Presena (1258 m - 3100 m) are among
the best known resorts in Italy.
Here there is also summer skiing on the Presena glacier and
spectacular outings can be made in the Adamello mountains (helicopter transport is
available to take skiers to their starting point).
The Presena glacier has no fissures and is
protected from the wind: it is one of the most interesting resorts for summer skiing.
To reach the top, take the cable-way from Tonale. The ski school is very famous.
Cross-country skiing is possible at both Tonale and Ponte di Legno but also outside both
resorts. There is a 10 km ring around Vezza d’Oglio - Temů.
