Sestriere, 2019

Sestriere, Italy - March 15th—March 24th 2019 Built by the owners of the Fiat car company in 1934 and owned by them for 70 years, Sestriere is one of the earliest and still one of the highest purpose- built ski stations. Sitting on a sunny plateau, snow cover is guaranteed thanks to both altitude and one of the world's most extensive snow making operations. Sestriere and Via Lattea ski resorts hosted the alpine events in the 2006 Winter Olympics. Despite this honour Sestriere is an area best suited to intermediates on the piste. Some great advanced piste exists but it is not extensive. Challenging off-piste terrain is available for the ad- venturous and fresh snow can lay unsullied alongside piste runs for days. The Via Lattea gives Sestriere skiers access to nearly 400km of ski runs serviced by 70 lifts.
