Pragelato

Pragelato has served as a mountain community in Piedmont since the Middle Ages. Set in the upper Chisone Valley of the Cottian Alps, it is a scattered commune of hamlets rather than a single compact resort town. For centuries it belonged to the Escartons, an alpine federation whose communities exercised extensive local self-government. Pragelato Plan entered the international sporting map during the Turin 2006 Winter Olympics, when its Nordic venues staged cross-country skiing, ski jumping and Nordic combined events. Stone-and-wood buildings and an Occitan cultural presence connect the settlement to the borderland history of the western Italian Alps.
