Resort Overview
Prato Nevoso is a terrific ski resort, the main features of this popular circuit are convenience and value. The lift system still features quite a few drags but new chairs are added all the time and everything links nicely. The lift company are keen on moving carpet lifts for beginners.On The Slopes
There is plenty of skiing both above and below the tree line and the scope would not disgrace a much bigger resort. Piste maintenance is excellent. The lift company do a particularly good job, combing the pistes and making snow when necessary. The link to Artesina has revolutionized the appeal of the area and the ski pass is very good value. On the Artesina side, the skiing is more challenging whereas Prato Nevoso is easier for beginners and early intermediates.Prato Nevoso is an excellent choice for beginners. There's minimal walking, a wide variety of easy runs and a caring ski school. Progression is great which means beginners can be doing quite long blue runs before the end of the week.
There are 2 moving carpet type lifts which is convenient especially for beginners, one outside the Hotel Galassia and one in the village. They are over 50m long and allow novices to practise on gentle slopes in safety without having to manage conventional lifts.
Intermediates are also well served. There are plenty of wide, long runs which invite ambitious skiers to work hard and get off that plateau! For strong intermediates there are some tremendous reds, especially over the Artesina side, and some exhilarating cruises in high bowls.
The two main runs back to the village are floodlit twice a week and night skiing is included on the pass.
Snowboarding
This is a big snowboarding area with a dedicated snowboard park which is also floodlit twice a week and has been redeveloped ready for this season. Prato Nevoso is the home of the Italian Snowboard Club and top competitions are held here. Big snowboard venue with expert instruction. Check out the hire shop which is also a snowboard museum!Off The Slopes
Prato Nevoso is notably friendly and local suppliers are always keen to give good service and promote their resort. You will encounter none of the take-it-or-leave-it attitude which sometimes blights the bigger names. Prato has something of a local community with school, church and shops. As in most purpose-built resorts, there's a long gallery of shops, bars and restaurants all conveniently located opposite the slopes.Pleasant purpose built village, with a gallery of shops and holiday facilities. Prato Nevoso is a fairly quiet ski village, but has sufficient aprés ski for a week unless you want to try somewhere different every night.
If you are a beginner or early intermediate who wants a quiet resort, with uncrowded slopes, good value, nice people, a good ski school and excellent hotels, this is the place!
