History & geography

History

Prato Nevoso's history as a resort dates back to the early 1960s, when a group of Ligurian entrepreneurs decided to create a resort easily accessible from Genoa and Turin. The rapid building programme and the low initial costs of flats spurred tourism, as well as the presence of the A6 Turin-Savona motorway (enlarged during the 1990s). The expansion of the resort did not follow established principles of town planning, and buildings sprung up in somewhat anarchic fashion.
