Ski In Italy
Take to the slopes in Italy. The stylish way to ski.

by Will Batchelor

Spa, Pragelato Village Resort & Spa.

When it comes to food and drink, the emphasis is very much on quality over quantity. Half-board guests can choose from two restaurants, La Tuccia or the more rustic La Taverna, offering choice, but hearty, Italian cuisine.

Or, for a heavenly gastronomic experience - with fittingly astronomic price tag - diners can opt for the posh Pan Beni restaurant, where the ingredients include exquisite white truffles from nearby Alba.

Don't worry if you forgot to bring a good book to Pragelato, as you can
always get stuck into the intimidating long wine list.

Wine buffs can also book a tasting session with the resort's
award-winning sommelier Antonio Dacomo, who will guide you through a selection of fruity reds as you nibble on mouthwatering meats and cheeses in the cosy atmosphere of La Taverna. Although his English is not strong, Antonio's love and enthusiasm for the flavours of Piemonte are unmistakable in any language.

With comfort and luxury in such abundance, it may be tempting to spend the day relaxing in the resort or wandering the cobbled streets of the Medieval village, whose cattle troughs, tiny stone church and tumbledown buildings serve as a reminder that miners and farmers staked claim to these parts long before the skiers and boarders.

My advice is to resist that temptation. With 440km of piste just eight
minutes from your doorstep, the daylight hours are no time for foot
massages or history lessons.
