It takes Its name from the rather harsh winter season. For long time It was the "capital city" of the high valley, which took Its name from It. Some Important pages of history bring back to Pragelato, which was Involved In the long religious fights as well.


As the resort has been a winter tourism destination for ages, It can guarantee entertaining activities all year long. Some of the Winter Olympics 2006 races will take place here.
