Pragelato, Italian comune
Pragelato is a small commune in the Metropolitan City of Turin in the western Alps of Italy. It sits in a mountain valley with residential areas scattered across the sloping terrain.
The area was settled over centuries by herders and farmers who adapted to the harsh mountain climate. The village emerged from these traditional settlement patterns that still shape community life today.
The village sits at high elevation in a mountain valley, so some paths are steep and require good hiking gear. The best time to explore is during warmer months when snow does not block the trails.
