A brief overview
Nestled in the heart of the Alps in the beautiful Piedmont
region, just under a two hour drive from Turin lies the charming resort of
Pragelato. This traditionally styled village centres around the Pragelato
Village Resort & Spa offered here. The centre is a short, eight minute
cable car ride from the world famous resort of Sestriere, part of the amazing
'Milky Way' ski area, which offers 400km of pistes all on one lift pass.
Pragelato itself played host to the Nordic skiing events of the 2006 Winter
Olympics: the cross-country skiing - which is quite common amongst the locals,
ski jumping & the Nordic combined events. The resort has benefited from
significant investment as a result of the Olympics & now provides excellent
facilities both on & off the snow. The impressive Pragelato Village Resort
& Spa makes a great base to enjoy all that the region has to offer. It's
not cheap, but for this level of quality & service which is still rare in
Italian ski resorts - there is little competition.
