Finding the right Italian ski resort for you
Thinking of heading to Italy for your next skiing adventure? Here’s everything you need to know.
The list of reasons to go on a ski holiday in Italy are endless. The people are nice and laid-back, the food is delicious (as is the wine), the prices tend to be cheaper than other European ski destinations, and most importantly, the slopes are perfect.
There’s a number of great Italian ski resorts, but choosing the right one can be difficult. It all depends on what you’re looking for…
For the family: Pragelato, Italy
Ski area: La Vialattea
Slopes: 440km of slopes: 42 black, 118 red, 54 blue, 30 green
Taking the whole family skiing can be a magical, yet also stressful experience, and finding the right child-friendly resort is easier said than done. Luckily,
Pragelato
has a little bit of everything. The beautiful, family-focused resort is laid out like a village, with quaint chalets dotted around the hillsides forming the perfect setting for local exploration.
Discover the Resort
Many ski resorts can feel crowded and hectic, but what makes Pragelato especially perfect for a family trip is just how quiet, untouched and secluded it is. When walking through the picture-perfect surroundings, it can feel like you’re the only people there, making the whole trip completely unforgettable.
But don’t be fooled by the small, close-knit nature of the resort; it’s actually in the heart of The Via Lattea (Milky Way) – the second largest ski area in Europe – which hosted the ski-jumping and cross-country events at the 2006 Turin Winter Olympics. With the recently built cable car, you can get to there from the town in no time.
Club Med has a range of ski resorts in Italy, including our peaceful, family-focused resort in the Piedmont region, Pragelato Sestriere.
