Plan: Routes to Val Troncea Nature Park

When planning a stay in Plan, the routes to Val Troncea Nature Park are a key consideration. Cross-country skiing and golf add to the range of activities in the Pragelato area. If you are looking for a hotel, it helps to distinguish between these different locations and plan your itinerary accordingly.

Getting to Val Troncea Nature Park

To reach the nature park, turn off the SS 23 del Colle del Sestriere near the hamlet of Traverses towards the hamlets of Plan and Pattemouche. Cars are normally permitted as far as the hamlet of Laval, near the start of the nature park. Check the latest park notices before setting out if access by car is important to your plans.

Trails and routes around Plan

The Pragelato–Val Troncea MTB trail is an easy, family-friendly route along the Chisone within the protected area of Parco della Val Troncea. It heads towards Plan and on to the entrance of Val Troncea Nature Park. For cyclists, it offers a clearly defined riverside route and a specific destination. Local trail conditions may change.

Another trail leads from Plan towards Val Troncea, following the Chisone, passing a small artificial basin, and continuing to the Das Itreit bridge. When choosing a route, the destination is a useful distinction: the MTB trail goes as far as the park entrance, while the trail from Plan goes as far as the Das Itreit bridge. This lets you choose the route based on its endpoint rather than only on the fact that both follow the same river.

Cross-country skiing and golf in the Pragelato area

The Centro Olimpico del Fondo Pragelato in the Pragelato area has more than 30 km of cross-country ski trails. The Centro hosted the Turin 2006 Winter Olympics. When planning your trip, it is worth distinguishing its historical connection from current winter sports: its Olympic role is part of the area’s history, while the extent and seasonal availability of the trails may change. Check the information for your travel dates.

Golf Club Pragelato is located at 1,600 m on the flatland at the start of Val Troncea. Its elevation and flat surroundings give a clear impression of the course’s setting. Operations may change; check in advance whether it is scheduled to be open for play during your travel dates.

Choose the right focus for your trip

For your hotel search, you can consider your interests on two levels: the trails and park access point towards Plan and the nature park; cross-country skiing and golf broaden the focus to include activities in the Pragelato area. First decide which focus will shape your stay. Then compare specific hotel offers using the listed details on location, rooms, and amenities.
