Visit the quaint resort of Prato Nevoso for your ski trip

The town resort of Prato Nevoso in Italy is small and compact and perfect for school groups. Popular with weekend skiers, the resort tends to be quiet during the week. Aprés-ski options include ice skating, snow tubing, night skiing, disco and pizza night.

Voted Best Ski Resort by teacher at the School Travel Awards 2018/19, Prato Nevoso in Italy lies on the north west slopes of the Maritime Alps, enjoying an enviable snow record, plenty of sunshine, doorstep skiing and uncrowded slopes.

Well linked to the neighbouring resorts of Artesina and Fabroso Soprana to crate Mondole Ski area with over 100km of piste, offering pistes for all abilities. The runs around Prato Nevoso itself are perfect for beginners, with more challenging runs further up the mountain and some fabulous runs heading into Artesina, including an FIS rated black run. The floodlit snow park is rated as one of the best in Italy, home to the Italian Snowboard Club, with half-pipe and border cross.
