The Mondolè Ski complex is located in the Maritime Alps and includes the ski stations of Artesina, Fraboza-Soprana and Prato-Nevoso. Each of these stations has its own characteristics. Artesina is a modern ski station with steep, breathtaking slopes and numerous mountain shelters for tourists. Prato-Nevoso is more focused on family vacations. Fraboza Soprana is a small mountain village with a population of 830 people, which doubles during the winter season, when the village becomes a busy tourist destination.

Prato Nevoso
Prato Nevoso is another popular ski resort, the second most important in the province of Cuneo after Limone Piemonte. It is located on the slope of Mount Mondole of the Ligurian Alps, at an altitude of about 1,500 meters.
Prato Nevoso (which translates as “snow meadow”) is mainly designed for mass tourism, for skiers of a low level of training. Gentle slopes, wide tracks, a large number of warm sunny days a year, a long ski season (from November to May) – all this attracts tourists who often come here with whole families.
This ski center was built relatively recently, in the 60s of the last century, when a group of entrepreneurs decided to create a winter resort that would be easily accessible from both Genoa and Turin. Over the past decades, hotel complexes have been built here, sufficient to accommodate everyone, including those who intend to spend only the weekend in the mountains.
The slopes of Prato Nevoso
In the 90s, Prato Nevoso experienced a “second birth”: the ski center was modernized, lifts were added, “cannons” were added to create artificial snow, which allows the winter season to be extended, in addition, two ski tracks were equipped with lighting for sports in the evening , and also built a snow park for snowboarders.
