Resort ActivitiesPros and cons
- The most snowsure part of the Milky Way
- Good beginner slopes and some steep challenges too
- Quick access to the rest of the Milky Way ski area
- Erratic snowfall record despite the altitude and snowmaking
- Village is a bit of an eyesore despite its convenience
- Weekend crowds, especially if the sun is shining
On the Slopes
Sestriere was Italy’s first purpose built resort and is thus incredibly convenient. It is very much ski in ski out and the revamp completed for the 2006 Winter Olympics only improved it further. Sestriere may not be the prettiest resort, but the convenience, allied with affordable prices make this a great base for your ski holiday.
The local slopes are home to an excellent beginner zone at the edge of the village, from which there is good progression on to longer blues. Intermediates will really enjoy the longer reds at Nuevo Nube and also those across the valley from the Fraiteve gondola down to Sansicario. There are also some much steeper challenges off the Banchetta and Cit Roc chairlifts – but note that the black ratings here are perhaps a little flattering.
The rest of the Milky Way is mostly suited to intermediate skiers, who have an almost limitless choice of terrain across the 400km linked area – which includes Sauze d’Oulx, Sansicario, Claviere, Cesana Torinese and Montgenèvre.
In the Resort
The purpose built resort is very convenient and much of the accommodation is located right next to the slopes or at the most a very short walk away from the lifts. A number of good value hotels can be found in the town, whilst the former Olympic Village provides affordable self-catered accommodation, right at the foot of the slopes.
There are some decent restaurants and a couple of bars to explore in the evenings, but generally the après ski and evening scene is pretty chilled here – if you’re looking for more of a buzz and a better nightlife scene then head to Sauze d’Oulx.
Getting to Sestriere
Sestriere is well connected to nearby Turin, with a brand new motorway installed along the length of the Val de Susa in time for the Turin 2006 Winter Olympics, which saw some events staged in Via Lattea. As a result, transfer times can be as little as 40 minutes from Turin Airport. Regular train services run from Turin & Turin Airport along the valley, stopping at Oulx – from here, regular buses and, from March 2024, the dedicated Via Lattea Link service, will transport you from the valley floor to the resort.
Via Lattea has offered discounts on lift passes in previous years for arriving in the resort by train, although this promotion has not been confirmed as running for the 2024/25 – keep an eye on the Via Lattea website for more details. Since late 2023, the railway line between Italy and France via Modane and Grenoble has been shut owing to a landslide near Modane. As a result, international TGV and Frecchiarossa services have been unable to serve the Via Lattea, and will continue to do so until “at least early 2025”. It is recommend to plan your travel carefully to avoid this disruption.
- Turin Airport: 1hr
- Milan Malpensa: 2hrs
- Oulx station, from Paris: 4.5hrs (line currently closed until “early 2025” owing to a landslip)

Italy
Updated 15/04
Winter returns in a big way to many areas in the Italian Alps this week, with some huge totals in store for parts of the northwest. Here, extraordinarily unsettled conditions will bring up to a metre-and-a-half of snowfall to higher elevations, as the freezing line sits around 2,000m. This will be met by strong winds, however, so expect the leeward slopes to be heavily loaded and a lot of snow to be moved around before it settles down. Friday will see a brief pause in the idiocy, before another foot falls on Saturday – this time reaching many elevations as the freezing line drops close to 500m overnight into Sunday.
Both the east and southwest of the Italian Alps will follow similar patterns to each other. Some snow will fall over the middle of this week, with a good half-a-foot in the southwest, staying on higher ground thanks to a high freezing line. Some more snow will move in on the weekend, but with a far more limited impact that otherwise might have been.
More unsettled weather stays in play throughout the new week.
