Prato Nevoso

Prato Nevoso (or Pratonevoso) is a ski and holiday resort in northern Italy.

It is located at 1480 metres above sea level, in the province of Cuneo, Piedmont, within the municipal boundaries of the comune of Frabosa Sottana, of which it is a frazione, some four kilometres south of its centre.

The rapid building programme and the low initial costs of flats spurred tourism, as well as the presence of the A6 Turin-Savona motorway (enlarged during the 1990s).

The expansion of the resort did not follow established principles of town planning, and buildings sprung up in somewhat anarchic fashion.

As well as winter sports, the resort is popular with cyclists and has been the finish of three stages of the Giro d'Italia: On July 20, 2008, the town served as the finish line for a stage in the 2008 Tour de France.
