The Val Chisone is one of the Occitan valleys of western Piedmont, situated in the Cottian Alps in the Metropolitan City of Turin in north-west Italy.
In 1631, the right shore of the Val Perosa was ceded to Louis XIII of France, returning under Savoy by the Peace of Turin (1696).
[1] The slopes in Sestriere also regularly host FIS Alpine Ski World Cup events.
Pragelato offers 15 km (9 mi) of touristic cross-country pistes from approximately 1,530 to 1,750 metres (5,020 to 5,740 ft) above sea level.
Besides the link with Via Lattea through cableway, the municipality has its own alpine ski courses (one chairlift and three platter lifts).
