Pragelato
Pragelato lies in the Chisone valley in Piedmont, just below Sestriere, and hosted the ski jumping and cross-country events of the 2006 Winter Olympics. Today it is a calm base for Nordic skiers and families, with a lift connecting to the Via Lattea. A private car brings you from Geneva over Sestriere and down into the valley, with all your equipment.
Chauffeur's tipPragelato is spread over many hamlets along the valley; give us the exact hamlet and address so the chauffeur can drive straight to your door.
The route from Geneva Airport
Your chauffeur crosses into France and drives south on the A41 to Chambéry, then up the Maurienne on the A43 to Modane. The Fréjus Road Tunnel leads into Italy at Bardonecchia, and the motorway descends to Oulx. From there, the road climbs via Cesana Torinese to the Sestriere pass and then drops into the Chisone valley to Pragelato. The trip takes around three hours in normal conditions, longer if snow is falling on the Sestriere road.
Arriving in Pragelato
Pragelato is not a single village but a string of hamlets along the Chisone, with stone houses, wooden balconies and wide snowy meadows. The cross-country trails along the valley floor are the main draw in winter, and a lift links up towards Sestriere and the Via Lattea for downhill skiers. Your driver takes you to the door of your hotel, residence or chalet. With AirportsTransfers.ch you can also book trips to Sestriere or Turin during your stay.
Practical advice
- Declare downhill and cross-country skis when booking.
- The V-Class van takes up to 7 passengers with 10 bags; the S-Class suits couples on a long trip.
- Child seats are provided on request.
- The route crosses into France and then Italy; keep travel documents with you.
Saturday traffic around the Fréjus tunnel can be heavy, so an earlier flight helps you arrive in daylight. A short comfort stop can be made on the way, and the return can be booked in the same order.
