Sestriere

Sestriere is spectacularly located at over 2,000 meters altitude in the Italian Alps and is one of the Alps' most snow-secure and iconic ski resorts. The destination, once an Olympic host city for the Turin Winter Olympics in 2006, forms the heart of the vast Via Lattea ski area. Here, skiers gain access to more than 400 km of connected slopes, linking Sestriere with classic alpine destinations like Sauze d’Oulx, Sansicario, and even crossing the border to Montgenèvre in France. The area is famous for its long, wide, and sunny descents that offer both comfortable carving and impressive panoramic views over the towering alpine peaks. The modern lift system ensures efficient transport and minimal wait times, while the varied terrain makes Sestriere suitable for beginners, families, and experienced skiers alike. After skiing, guests gather at mountain restaurants and sun terraces, where alpine dining meets the Piedmontese cuisine featuring local cheeses, rustic dishes, and selected wines. The town’s architecture and atmosphere are functional and modern, with a focus on active holidays, making Sestriere also attractive in summer with hiking, cycling, and high-altitude experiences in the fresh alpine air.
