It was a real thrill to see the Olympic Flame as it crossed the entire Pontedilegno–Tonale ski area.

Numerous people—skiers, associations, and ski clubs—gathered to await the passage of the world’s most prestigious sporting symbol.

There was an initial passage at Passo Tonale, followed by a special moment at 3,000 meters on the Presena Glacier, and finally a passage in Ponte di Legno, where Elena Tagliabue, an Olympic athlete from Ponte di Legno, also took part as a torchbearer.
