On the slopes
Known for its jumps and huge vertical, 50km of snow covered slopes are available when you ski Pragelato ski resort and for those with a sense of adventure there's also five jumps, a vertical drop of 3428 feet, and many cross country trails. So it is no surprise the resort hosted a jump for the 2006 Winter Olympics and is often chosen for Olympic training.
For non-experts and children there are also many beginner slopes in the resort making it practical for all holiday purposes. Plus, since snow formations follow the slope abominations, plenty of ski alpinism opportunities are available to expert skiers as well. Snowboarding is also allowed for those who wish to participate in this sport as well with plenty of piste opportunities.

WE LIKE
- Although few local runs - cable car access to over 400kms in Milky Way
- Medieval traditional town as backdrop for skiing and snowboarding
- Good range of skiing for beginners, intermediates and advanced
|
WE DON'T LIKE
- Low key Italian resort with quieter après-ski scene
- Lifts are some way from the village
- If you're doing a week's skiing - maybe best to base yoursaelf in one of the resorts within the MilkyWay for ease
