Prato Nevoso

Padel at 2,000 metres? Welcome to Prato Nevoso, where the court sits atop a ski slope in the Italian Alps.

It’s a court that defies gravity and convention, offering fresh alpine air and adrenaline in equal measure. Prato Nevoso proves padel can be played anywhere – even on the edge of a slope.
