Sestriere

Sestriere is an iconic ski resort in the Italian Alps and the heart of the vast Via Lattea ski area, connecting more than 400 km of slopes across Italy and France. Situated at approximately 2,035 meters above sea level, Sestriere is renowned for its high altitude and reliable snow conditions, offering a long ski season and excellent skiing from early winter to spring. The town played a central role during the 2006 Torino Winter Olympics, and the modern lift infrastructure and wide, well-groomed slopes clearly reflect international top standards. The terrain ranges from open, sunny boulevard runs to more challenging alpine descents, spanning multiple valleys to provide a unique sense of grand-scale skiing. Sestriere caters to families, intermediate skiers, and experts seeking access to long, uninterrupted runs without many bottlenecks. Off the slopes, the resort offers authentic mountain dining featuring Piedmontese specialties, cozy restaurants, and sun terraces with views of the Alps. In summer, Sestriere transforms into an active mountain resort with hiking trails, cycling routes, and one of Europe’s highest-altitude golf courses, all surrounded by crisp mountain air and wide-open vistas.
