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

by Will Batchelor

Adelaide Suite bedroom, Pragelato Village Resort & Spa.

For a slower-paced tour of the park, why not swap skis for snow shoes?
These are not the heavy, wooden tennis racket-shaped devices of old but lightweight versions made of aluminium and plastic. They make it easier to walk in snow, but not that easy. Even after just 4km, we were glad to stop at a ruined stone farmhouse to slake our thirst with hot, sweet tea provided by our knowledgeable guides.

If the old barns and mine workings are a reminder of Pragelato's humble past, the village also shows signs of a rosy future. With an ice rink and golf driving range alongside the resort, and a conference centre featuring yet more leisure facilities under construction, Pragelato looks set to become an all-year playground for stressed out execs from both Turin and further afield.

My advice is to get in early and avoid the rush. It certainly beats a
night on the pop with Dane Bowers.
