Sestrière is popular with the locals at the weekends which livens up the otherwise relaxed après scene a bit. There are lots of activities on offer, such as swimming and ice-skating. If you like boutique shopping, you’ll have the chance to shop until you drop here.

For a good bit of pampering, there’s the spa at the Grand Hotel. While away the hours and rejuvenate tired legs in the saunas and hot tub. As you're on holiday, why not treat yourself to a good massage. Or for something a bit more lively, hit the indoor and outdoor après bar called GFC. It's at the bottom of the slopes has become very popular in recent years and it even attracts guests from neighbouring Sauze too…
