Pracupola extends between Lake Zoccolo and the Schwemmalm and is the venue for numerous events
At one end of the lake lies Santa Valburga, and at the other, Pracupola. The village developed around the old Kuppelwieserhof farm, which is now a well-known restaurant in the valley. On the slopes, you can still spot the typical log construction of the Val d'Ultimo "Paarhöfe" farmsteads, with their balconies decorated with geraniums and their surrounding herb and vegetable gardens.
The roofs of the farmhouses are covered with larch wood shingles and weighted down with stones, following ancient artisanal tradition. There are initiatives to preserve this complex and costly method of roofing, which has been used for centuries, for the future.
If you are planning an active holiday, Pracupola (Kuppelwies) is the perfect place for you. Trails begin at Lake Zoccolo that extend up to the surrounding mountain pastures. Delightful spots like the Steinrast Hut, the Covolo Lakes and the Schwemmalm Adventure Pond are all located above Pracupola. In addition, the lake shore serves as a landing spot for paragliders in summer and is the location of the ice rink in winter. The cable car to the Schwemmalm starts just opposite.
Horse riding, excursions on the Ultimo Farm Trail and cross-country skiing are other popular activities. The village is also regularly brought to life by well-attended events. The lake shore in Pracupola, along with the adjacent car park for the Schwemmalm Cable Car, becomes a stage for the Ultimo Farm Run, the "Gondola Dinner", the Krapfen Festival and the Pracupola Market.
