Il Faita - la Baita del Tonale — Restaurant in Comunità montana della valle Camonica

Il Faita, while predominantly a mountain restaurant, is a wonderful place to stay. We booked a quadruple room which proved perfect for us. It had two single beds upstairs and a double bed downstairs. The chalet is spotlessly clean and very well run - Luca and his team have pride in their establishment. ||||I always fancied staying on the mountain. It is only just on the mountain though, a mere 150m from the car park (which is also the glacier gondola car park). Breakfast was good and the food at lunch and dinner excellent.||||Passo Tonale is 1.5 km away, so you need to have a car. One of the attractions of this resort is its proximity to Madonna di Campiglio ski area (an easy 30 mins). However, the link is via Marilleva 900 and (during half-term at least) the queue at the only lift to the main ski area was horrendous (30 minutes plus). ||||Passo itself has limited slopes but has some advantages. Four red runds, two at eash end of the Passo ski area are excellent (especially run 20). The Presena glacier across the road is a big plus. Plus, there is night skiing on Tuesdays and Thursdays (though only on a 1km run). ||||Passo is a very good value resort. It is ideal for beginners and families. It is snow-sure. There are some terrific mountain restaurants; a couple on the Passo side and one on the Ponte di Legno side are particularly good.||||We had a stonking week....

Can't fault this place, wonderful, friendly and helpful staff and beautiful room right next to the slopes. The guys here are very organised and the place is immaculate, they put a lot of love into it. Food is amazing, hence you need to reserve as people come for dinner from other places. Portions are large! They even have a traditional grappa which is delicious and worth a try. There's a dedicated area to store boots, skis etc which is totally secure. Parking is just up the slope adjacent to the hotel and they collect you and your bags on skidoo when you arrive. Lift passes can be purchased just across the road and ski hire etc is also walking distance and we got a discount in the hire place. Really enjoyed our two night stay here, great hospitality, we will...
