Sestriere gained international renown during February 1997 when it hosted the World Cup Ski Races and it has been selected to host the 2006 Winter Olympics.
Now an international resort, it is part of the famous “Milky Way” ski circuit, a magnificent area with over 400kms of pistes with excellent skiing for all grades in spectacular scenery.
Sestriere is at one extreme of the big Franco-Italian Milky Way area.
The local areas have two main sectors, Sises, directly in front of the village, and more varied Motta, above Borgata.back to top
