| Linked to Sestriere and nestled in the heart of the Alps in the beautiful Piedmont region, just under a two hour drive from Turin lies the charming ski holiday resort of Pragelato. This traditionally styled village centres around the Pragelato Village Resort & Spa. 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 for your ski holiday 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.

Skiing & Boarding In |
|
|
gentle nursery slopes in Pragelato and a ski school which offers private lessons (bookable locally). As the week progresses you will find yourself on tree-lined blues down to Borgata, steadily building your confidence all the time.
Intermediates
As one of the world’s premier intermediate ski areas the Milky Way will take you from one pretty ski village to the next, on predominantly flattering red runs that make the miles disappear under your skis. A fantastic improver’s location.
Advanced
World Cup downhill and slalom host Sestrière will test the mettle of any skier, while the huge off-piste potential will keep back country fans fully occupied for their stay. Freestylers are catered for as well with a park in the Cit Roc area (open when conditions permit).
Snowboarding
Beginners will love the wide open runs above the tree-line and gentle nursery slopes on Sestrière’s sunny plateau. Improvers can head to the top of Banchetta for some high speed runs right down to Borgata before the vast Milky Way calls you to explore its endless slopes.

Après-ski In |
|
| Skiing is top of the agenda in this high, sunny, purpose-built resort. You can however enjoy the amazing spa facilities at the Grand Hotel, or relax and soak up the atmosphere in one of the handful of pleasant cafés and bars. When it gets dark and late there is always a small choice of nightclubs in which to unwind until the early hours.
