Sestrière Reviews & Ratings

Great resort, being the first time skiing in the resort & Italy we were initially not sure on the gradient of the runs, whilst finding our bearings, The app is really useful to look at the runs.
The first morning we potentially spent a little too long queuing on the button lift that went to a blue and a red as we thought these would be good to get out legs going again before heading further up the mountain.
My advice would be , if you are steady away and comfortable, just jump straight in the chair lift not far from to the right the button lift, head straight up to the top, as the red number 1 run is a lovely run, not to testing and would be good to start the day getting your legs going. From there you have the option then to go to another chair lift or back to the same chair lift and play around on that side of the mountain without being caught up in the button lift where quite a few people were falling off(we've all been there!!!) so it's just a little stop start. Also once you get your bearings you can then head straight down and over to the next mountain where there's some great runs too.

Would definitely head back there

Had a fantastic time skiing with my family and two friends, namely in Sestriere & Sauze D’Oulx. Praggelato was also incredible. The pizzas on the slopes were excellent!

First time here and will be back with family. Not a party or apre kinda vibe but good all round skiing for most levels. Very wind dependent as to what main lifts are open.

It was a very small resort, but the bonus to that was that we could leave the hotel and be on the piste. Had great snow, but not as efficient as the French resorts I’d been too. Due to high winds we couldn’t ski out of the resort towards French until the last day. The scenery on the way to Montgenevre was beautiful and the slopes were quieter. We also enjoyed a night at GFC which was brilliant.

Lots of skiing over the Millky Way. Relatively snow sure. Lift system needs upgrading. Could do with more mountain restaurants.

Lovely resort. So much snow fell. Expansive area that opened more and more as the week went on. Lovely red and black runs and the powder off piste was phenomenal. Big smiles all round!

Second time visiting had a lovely week enjoyed lovely weather local restaurants and ski school which were very helpful wide variety of runs. Lots of ski lifts and very efficient. Great for families or people looking for a good time.

Had a lovely time here with the family we had great fun good range of pieste levels for the younger kids and the more experienced skiers

Had an awesome time in Sestriere. Loved being able to hop on the gondola and go over to Sauze and Sansicario. I find it much better priced than a lot of resorts.

Excellent week with mixed weather giving cloudy days, whiteout days at mountain toos and blue sky days too

Not the best for beginner skiers but lots of good red runs. Apres is fun but there’s definitely better at other resorts I’ve been too.

Fab resort - lots of beautifully prepared wide open slopes. Lifts great quality and friendly staff. You can even try ann Olympic downhill course there!

Had a great week here, slopes were well prepared, and lifts were great.
Had a beginner with us also where separate cheaper passes were available for carpets and lower better lifts.

Really enjoyed my third visit to Sestrière. As a beginner/intermediate skier the slopes are fantastic. Lots of variety and easy to get around. Highly recommend for families and beginners.

Some great runs but there are choke points with inadequate uplift to get out of valley and to cross between zones. Some transit pistes suffer similar. Once out/across then everything fine. Coffee a couple euro so life is good.

Lots of great runs with lots of variety, although the lift system needs an upgrade.
The Piste map isn't the easiest to follow, as the runs aren't named, but we had lots of fun, none the less

Lovely resort for all especially when it’s all open. The whole vibe of the mountains and town is really cool and lots to choose from depending on where you want to spend your time. Also if you love coffee it’s so cheap!

Amazing quiet slopes, varied terrain. Definitely better for intermediate to advanced skiers than beginners, unless you are with a ski instructor. Easy to ski over to Mongenevre if advanced skier, if intermediate get a bus back. The Italians are really friendly, very helpful on the lifts if you have little kids. Food amazing on piste!

Former Olympic venue. Great lift infrastructure and plenty of well groomed pistes to ski. The town is purpose built and doesn't have the atmosphere of local towns like Sauze but the location and facilities are great.

Good resort option, not a beginner friendly ski area with limited blues and poor group ski schools (recommend you go private). Infrastructure is somewhat dated but they make do, the runs are good although not managed as well as in France. The food and drink options are phenomenal with great prices and great quality.
