Club Med Pragelato Offers Cool Culinary Escape in Italy's Alpine Summer

While the Italian Alps are typically associated with winter skiing, Club Med Pragelato Sestriere transforms into a serene culinary and nature retreat during the summer months. Located in Piedmont in northwest Italy at about 1,600 meters elevation, the resort offers cool temperatures and refreshing breezes, providing a perfect escape from the summer heat in Israel and Europe. The resort is designed like a traditional alpine village with warm wooden cabins and stone alleys surrounded by lush greenery.

Guests arriving via a premium package including flights and transfers from Milan enjoy a scenic three-hour drive through winding alpine roads. The resort caters to both families and couples, offering a variety of activities such as guided hiking and mountain biking trails, golf, yoga, pilates, and table tennis. For those seeking relaxation, there are indoor and outdoor pools with mountain views, spa treatments, and rooftop bars serving cocktails.

Families benefit from extensive kids and youth clubs for ages 4 to 17, staffed by professional guides who provide creative workshops and cooking classes. In August, Hebrew-speaking guides are available to assist younger children. Dining follows an all-inclusive concept with a rich buffet featuring freshly made pasta, wood-fired pizzas, seafood, grilled dishes, and breakfast stations with eggs and pancakes. Additional gourmet and pizza restaurants operate on-site, along with afternoon tea and barbecue stands.

Nearby, the village of Pragelato offers opportunities for local coffee, gelato, and cuisine, while the resort provides shuttle service to Turin for shopping and urban experiences. Summer vacations at Club Med Pragelato start at 2,758 euros per person, including flights, transfers, and full board, with free stays for children under six. The resort’s all-inclusive model simplifies vacation planning, combining stunning scenery, attentive service, and a relaxed pace for a rewarding summer getaway.
