Pragelato is a comune (municipality) in the Metropolitan City of Turin in the Italian region Piedmont, located about 60 kilometres (37 mi) west of Turin, in the upper Val Chisone. The name Pragelato, meaning "icy meadow", has been derived from the harsh climate and the fact that the ground is covered with ice for long periods. On both sides of the Chisone, extensive forests of pine and larch provide protection from the avalanches which are a common occurrence in the winter season: for this reason in the nineteenth century the people of Pragelato were only permitted to fell trees close to the mountain summits, and even then only with the permission of the communal administration.

Pragelato is a quaint village located in the Piedmont region of Italy, known for its picturesque scenery and outdoor activities. With a population of just over 1,000 people, it's the perfect place to escape the hustle and bustle of city life and immerse yourself in nature.

One of the most popular attractions in Pragelato is the Via Lattea ski resort, which boasts over 400 kilometers of ski runs. Whether you're a seasoned skier or just learning, there's something for everyone here. The resort also offers snowshoeing, ice skating, and even dog sledding for those looking for a unique winter experience.
