So what's it like?
Excellent, extensive ski area and a cosmopolitan atmosphere
Having benefitted from the investment of hosting the successful 2006 Winter Olympic Games, and home to some of the best skiing in the Milky Way ski area, Sestriere is a magnet for ski lovers and a sophisticated resort with the latest amenities. Nestled in the renowned Milky Way ski area, the resort is ideally placed to access a wide range of truly excellent slopes. Sestriere's own skiing is also pretty extensive, with pistes divided into three main areas and connected via one of the most advanced mountain lift systems in the Alps, where the uncrowded runs offer perfect conditions to ski and board at your own pace.
