Sestriere Ski Resort Guide
About the Resort
Turin is due to host the Winter Olympic Games in 2006 and Sestriere is to host the mens Alpine events. It is the first purpose built resort in the Alps. It isn't one of the most attractive resorts with its large apartment blocks but has some interesting buildings. It's location is not great as it is situated at one extreme of the Milky Way and so it's access to the rest of the network of slopes is not easy.
About the Mountains near Sestriere
The local slopes have two main sections - Sises and Motta. Experts will find lots to keep them happy with steep pistes. Intermediates will find that as long as the weather is good enough, there's plenty to explore. Beginners will find that once they have progressed from the nursery slopes, they may struggle to find enough easy runs to progress to.
Après Ski at Sestriere
There's a fair amount of mountain restaurants with reasonable food on offer. The apres ski is fairly quiet.
