Prato Nevoso riding guide - World Snowboard Guide

Navigation

Freeriding

Freeriders are presented with an area that will please those who like their mountains hassle-free. There is option of going off-piste by hiking with a pair of snow shoes, and the resort even publishes a 'Free Ride' map to help you find the best spots.

You can get further advice from the local snowboard club, with details available from the Surf Shop Prato Nevoso.

Freestylers

Freestylers are well catered for with a good flood-lit terrain park, which packs in not only a series of killer hits, but also a halfpipe and a permanent boardercross circuit.

Pistes

Carvers will probably get the best out of the slopes here, as there's a selection of well-maintained slopes. The runs are wide and sweeping, free of any rocks and uneven obstacles.

Beginners

Beginners have a resort that is perfect for them in every way, with a good number of easy-to-reach novice runs.
