Expert Advice

" Sat on a high, sunny col, Sestrière is a place you can ski unitil you legs give out "

Famously founded as a mountain retreat for employees of Fiat, Sestrière, at 2035m is one of the highest resorts in Italy. Situated just above the treeline this snowy, purpose built resort has an understated feel to it, with an après-ski agenda more relaxed than its’ livelier neighbour Sauze d’Oulx, and offers the complete range of skiing experiences in its 400km of piste, from an excellent, gentle nursery area to the steep downhill runs, made famous by the 2006 Olympics.

This is another resort benefitting immensely from the games with a new gondola lift improving connections to the other ‘Vialattea’ resorts of Sansicario, Sauze d’Oulx and Claviere, as well as some of the best snowmaking in the area allowing you to maximise your time on the mountain. Sat on a high, sunny col, Sestrière is a place you can ski until your legs give out, and then indulge in the Italian love of sunbathing on a truly relaxing holiday.
