Beginners

Gentle nursery slopes and lifts are located right outside the skischool in the centre of the resort, providing a handy meeting point for you and your companions. As the week progresses you will find yourself on tree-lined blues down to Borgata, steadily building your confidence all the time.

Intermediates

As one of the world’s premier intermediate ski areas the Milky Way will take you from one pretty ski village to the next, on predominantly flattering red runs that make the miles disappear under your skis. A fantastic improver’s location.

Advanced

World Cup downhill and slalom host Sestrière will test the mettle of any skier, while the huge off-piste potential will keep back country fans fully occupied for their stay. Freestylers are catered for as well with a park in the Cit Roc area (open when conditions permit).

Snowboarding

Beginners will love the wide open runs above the tree-line and gentle nursery slopes on Sestrière’s sunny plateau. Improvers can head to the top of Banchetta for some high speed runs right down to Borgata before the vast Milky Way calls you to explore its endless slopes.
