Prali Ski Resort Italy
Prali ski resort (also known as 'Seggiovie 13 Laghi') is an 'under the radar' freeskiing paradise between Turin & Sestriere that combines awesome tree skiing with affordable prices. Situated at the end of a quiet valley, the ski area has some of the best larch tree skiing glades in Europe, a top lifted point of 2,540m & a skiable vertical of over 1,050m. When it snows deep & low, Prali could be paradise for Powderhounds, and with a daily lift pass price bordering on 'practically free' during the week, why wouldn't we check it out? Cannot believe we haven't been here until now. Yes, we just visited and were blown away by the terrain.....
Pros & Cons for Prali Ski Resort
Pros
- Amongst the best tree skiing in Europe.
- Incredible off-piste terrain on powder days for advanced or better riders.
- A simple perfectly positioned lift system provides a solid 1,050m of skiable vertical that feels a whole lot bigger and longer.
- Long, interesting piste trails for upper intermediates & advanced abilities.
- Uncrowded on most days.
- Fun backcountry adventures directly from the upper chairlift.
- Affordable, good value lift pass price.
- And did we mention the tree skiing…...
Cons
- Slow chairlifts.
- Snowfall in the region is increasingly sporadic, but when its good, its usually very good.
- Very little for beginner skiers & snowboarders.
- Many intermediates will find the pistes quite challenging.
- Public transport access is laborious (but still doable!).
- Limited accommodation close to the ski area (but lots within 30min drive).
Pro or Con (depending on your perspective!)
- For off-piste riders, this is a true road trip destination on a classic ‘retour d’est’ weather pattern.
- Limited capacity chairlifts can make the start to the day a little slow if its busy, but busy days are infrequent to say the least! Regardless be at the lift early as local freeriders are voracious in their appetites!
- Quiet after hours.
- Despite only 30 minutes from the main road, Prali is a ‘remote/isolated’ location.
- Anyone nervous on narrow, icy roads had better find someone else to drive up to Prali from Perosa Argentina!

Prali Accommodation
Whilst accommodation in the valley at the base of the ski lifts in Prali is limited to the Hotel Miramonti, there are a couple of fantastic options close by. In the adjacent village of Ghigo, Hotel Salei provides exceptional rooms, facilities & food. Just across the river from the chairlift, CasAlpAca B&B offers a more intimate experience, with a similarly exceptional standard of rooms, food & services. Other accommodation includes holiday rental apartments and older-style guesthouse rooms in the tiny nearby villages like Perrero where the B&B La Mëisun often has availability.

About 30min drive from Prali, where the road up the valley begins, the large(ish) town of Perosa Argentina has a couple of excellent accommodation options that are very light on the bank balance but come with exceptional hospitality. Try the fabulous La Ciuenda BnB or the centrally located (& quirky) Maison Manu. Perosa Argentina has several exceptional local bars, restaurants & cafes.

The Powderhounds reviewed Prali just after a storm in late December 2025. We found it to be an absolute beast of a ski hill but in the best possible way. More information about this European ski resort will come soon. Stay tuned for our sparkling repartee, new photos & insights.
