Just make sure the links are open for your stay before you book your lift pass. During our stay none of the links were open to other ski areas so we paid for a full via lattea pass when just sestriere pass would have done.
SARAH-BETH Belfast (GB) He booked from: 2024-03-19 08:00:00 to 2024-03-24 19:00:00
Beautiful, first time in Sestriere and hopefully not the last. Slopes were great, enjoyed some sun and the locals were so friendly!
JOHN Rawtenstall (GB) He booked from: 2024-03-25 08:00:00 to 2024-03-30 19:00:00

HOWARD STOCKPORT (GB) He booked from: 2024-03-18 08:00:00 to 2024-03-23 19:00:00
Pistes were all well maintained but signage/names & numbers not always clear however we soon got used to the layout.
Mountain restaurants were excellent and surprisingly good value.
There were a few chair lifts only open on a Sunday which seems a bit mean as we've bought a ski pass for the whole area.
Link to Sauze d'Oulx was closed due to wind on 4 out of 7 days but could easily have been opened for half a day.

Sestriere was a lively resort . It was one of the busier weeks of the year that we went but still managed to find parking. (Provided you arrive early enough)
Good variety of pistes and links to other ski resorts.
JESPER Skanderborg (DK) He booked from: 2024-02-11 08:00:00 to 2024-02-16 19:00:00
There are excellent, primarily wide slopes, few people in even week 7, but expensive foods in the mountains. Lifts could be newer and faster. It is great being able to go to many other valleys.
HENRIQUE RECIFE (BR) He booked from: 2024-02-14 08:00:00 to 2024-02-16 19:00:00
I think there is a lot to be improved. It feels like the entire Via Lattea is stuck in the past, proud to have hosted an Olympic Games that happened almost 20 years ago. The entire resort got complacent. It is sad, quite frankly. All the people who work there, including you, should take a trip to Vail, Aspen or Winter Park in Colorado and see how much you need to improve.
The pistes have very little signs in quantity and the size of the signs are small, when you can find one. So you find yourself many times not knowing where you are going in piste forks/instersections. The colors of pistes are not indicative of the level of the piste. There are dozens of red pistes and some reds can be much harder than others reds. Also, many pistes had almost zero snow, just ice or not even. You could actually see the stones the dirt or grass in some parts of some pistes. It is extremelly dangerous to ski in these conditions. These pistes should be CLOSED. Also, there was not enough ski workers from Via Lattea patrolling the pistes, which is very dangerous in case a tourist or anyone gets into an accident and there is no one to rescue them.
The Via Lattea map has symbols that have no legend. That just shows how your resort got complacente. That is a rookie mistake. You can do better than this. This is a basic thing. If you want to stay in business and stay relevant, get your Via Lattea map right. Make it easy for people who have never seen it to be able to read it easily.
Queuing could be improved. You could make individual queues, like in the USA.
The infrasctructure in Sestriere was ok. Almost all restaurants were extremely expensive, except for Adam’s Kebab, which was almost always full of people. It is obvious why. They offered a lot of food for a fair price, even though they treat their customers in a very, very rude way. But they can do that, because they have no competition.

STUART TWICKENHAM (GB) He booked from: 2024-01-18 08:00:00 to 2024-01-23 19:00:00
Lots of ski area when fully open. Only downside was closing of a couple of major lifts even when there was good snow coverage. I can only assume there was a lock of staff to run them. Lifts were opened at the weekend when there were more skiers but closed again later in the week. I wonder if this was a economical decision or a staff problem. Luckily we were usually able to go over to Souzi Doux when the gondola was open. When it is fully open it is great.
Sestriere seems a little limited in the number of restaurants and bars available, even though it was quite quiet when we were there.
JEREMY Ta Xbiex (MT) He booked from: 2024-01-14 08:00:00 to 2024-01-19 19:00:00
Quiet town, so I would recommend for Skiing only.
Sauze d'oulx is a nice area to visit for a day or two.
ADRIAN Sheffield (GB) He booked from: 2024-01-08 08:00:00 to 2024-01-13 19:00:00

And the skibus should be free of charge.
ADAM Sheffield (GB) He booked from: 2023-12-31 08:00:00 to 2024-01-05 19:00:00
If all the lifts are open then Sestriere is a great place to ski but due to the low snowfall in December only half the lifts were open so there were a lot of waiting in queues. The link over to Sauze D'Oulx works well but coming back is very slow.
There doesn't seem to be enough capacity in the restaurants during the holiday periods so recommend booking in advance if you're eating out.
GREGORY Louth (GB) He booked from: 2023-12-18 08:00:00 to 2023-12-22 19:00:00
Great skiing and a friendly town. They kept a few slopes open as there was no snow fall when we were there.
PAVEL LUXEMBOURG (LU) He booked from: 2023-04-04 00:00:00 to 2023-04-08 23:59:00
Sestriere is located at 2000 m so there's no problem with snow even in the springtime. It's a quiet place very conveniently located close to the pistes. The pistes are wide and nice. Not so much of a party place which makes it even better.
OREN FAIR LAWN (US) He booked from: 2023-01-15 00:00:00 to 2023-01-17 23:59:00

Nice, friendly town. Good variety of slopes.
Only real complaint is the slow and unreliable lifts - too often not working, so had to catch very infrequent bus from sauze d'oulx back to sestriere - which took 2 hours in total.
ILAN Raanana (IL) He booked from: 2023-01-30 00:00:00 to 2023-02-02 23:59:00
Sestriere itself is great
My companit would be that we booked an Airbnb and it turned out to be through an agency (Hotdomus) - their service and communication is CRAP. And to top it off they charged us a deposit they werent supposed to...

Lift between Borgata and Sestriere closes too early . Allowing use of it during the evening for foot traffic only would improve transport between areas
PAVEL LUXEMBOURG (LU) He booked from: 2023-02-12 00:00:00 to 2023-02-17 23:59:00
Sestriere is a very comfortable and cozy place. The great advantage is that you don't have to take bus or walk long to reach the slopes. Probably we were lucky but there were no crowds on the slopes and we never had to wait in a line. At first we were not that much impressed with the local restaurants but then we found several wonderful places and bars where you can really enjoy yourself. We'll be coming back.
THOMAS Sheffiled (GB) He booked from: 2023-02-12 00:00:00 to 2023-02-17 23:59:00
Sestriere is a great ski resort if you have good enough snow conditions and all the lifts are open. Be warned most of the lifts close at 4:00pm sharp and the lift staff couldn’t care less if you are stuck and can’t get back over to Sestriere. As for the French Montgenevre street included within the all areas lift pass. It’s definitely worth visiting but only by car as taking the lifts doesn’t give you enough time due to the unreasonable early closing and poor attitude of the lift staff. Especially considering the cost of the lift pass.
SAMUEL London (GB) He booked from: 2023-01-22 00:00:00 to 2023-01-27 23:59:00
Decent pistes, slow lifts with dissapointingly few open. Good food, but relatively quiet apres.

We enjoy staying at sestriere as a couple. However if you are looking for entertainment or nightlife in the afternoon it does not offer much.

Was a very Italian atmosphere geared more towards locals than tourists. Beautiful location with some good skiing routes however was a little bit icy in parts due to lack of snow this year
TREVOR Abingdon (GB) He booked from: 2022-02-28 00:00:00 to 2022-03-05 23:59:00

DAVID Newcastle upon tyne (GB) He booked from: 2022-02-12 00:00:00 to 2022-02-14 23:59:00
Charming Italian resort, limited variety of runs, few blacks and lack of snow for the first 2 days of our 3 day stay meant navigating between the main ski areas required getting the bubble "down" the mountain, never a good thing.
Good selection of fairly priced restaurants, bars and cafes with friendly staff everywhere,
DEREK Glossop (GB) He booked from: 2020-03-02 00:00:00 to 2020-03-06 00:00:00
MANY lifts not running in Sestriere and the surrounding areas. Not enough people / skiiers to justify all lifts open, but those pistes not available, therefore it is a small ski areas. Snow grooming brilliant. Only one lift out of Sestriere, often affected by wind!. But lift pass no too expensive!!??
EMMA Redhill (GB) He booked from: 2020-03-02 00:00:00 to 2020-03-07 00:00:00

Be warned most of the lifts close at 4:00pm sharp and the lift staff couldn’t care less if you are stuck and can’t get back over to Sestriere. As for the French Montgenevre street included within the all areas lift pass. It’s definitely worth visiting but only by car as taking the lifts doesn’t give you enough time due to the unreasonable early closing and poor attitude of the lift staff. Especially considering the cost of the lift pass.
SAMUEL London (GB) He booked from: 2023-01-22 00:00:00 to 2023-01-27 23:59:00

Charming Italian resort, limited variety of runs, few blacks and lack of snow for the first 2 days of our 3 day stay meant navigating between the main ski areas required getting the bubble "down" the mountain, never a good thing.
Good selection of fairly priced restaurants, bars and cafes with friendly staff everywhere,
DEREK Glossop (GB) He booked from: 2020-03-02 00:00:00 to 2020-03-06 00:00:00
MANY lifts not running in Sestriere and the surrounding areas. Not enough people / skiiers to justify all lifts open, but those pistes not available, therefore it is a small ski areas. Snow grooming brilliant. Only one lift out of Sestriere, often affected by wind!. But lift pass no too expensive!!??

Great skiing - huge area with a variety of runs. Very quiet in the evenings, not a huge choice of restaurants, I assume most people self catering since we were there in February half term & were often one of only 2 or 3 families eating out.

Just make sure the links are open for your stay before you book your lift pass. During our stay none of the links were open to other ski areas so we paid for a full via lattea pass when just sestriere pass would have done.

Pistes were all well maintained but signage/names & numbers not always clear however we soon got used to the layout. Mountain restaurants were excellent and surprisingly good value. There were a few chair lifts only open on a Sunday which seems a bit mean as we've bought a ski pass for the whole area. Link to Sauze d'Oulx was closed due to wind on 4 out of 7 days but could easily have been opened for half a day.

RECIFE (BR) He booked from: 2024-02-14 08:00:00 to 2024-02-16 19:00:00
I think there is a lot to be improved. It feels like the entire Via Lattea is stuck in the past, proud to have hosted an Olympic Games that happened almost 20 years ago. The entire resort got complacent. It is sad, quite frankly. All the people who work there, including you, should take a trip to Vail, Aspen or Winter Park in Colorado and see how much you need to improve. The pistes have very little signs in quantity and the size of the signs are small, when you can find one. So you find yourself many times not knowing where you are going in piste forks/instersections. The colors of pistes are not indicative of the level of the piste. There are dozens of red pistes and some reds can be much harder than others reds. Also, many pistes had almost zero snow, just ice or not even. You could actually see the stones the dirt or grass in some parts of some pistes. It is extremelly dangerous to ski in these conditions. These pistes should be CLOSED. Also, there was not enough ski workers from Via Lattea patrolling the pistes, which is very dangerous in case a tourist or anyone gets into an accident and there is no one to rescue them. The Via Lattea map has symbols that have no legend. That just shows how your resort got complacente. That is a rookie mistake. You can do better than this. This is a basic thing. If you want to stay in business and stay relevant, get your Via Lattea map right. Make it easy for people who have never seen it to be able to read it easily. Queuing could be improved. You could make individual queues, like in the USA. The infrasctructure in Sestriere was ok. Almost all restaurants were extremely expensive, except for Adam’s Kebab, which was almost always full of people. It is obvious why. They offered a lot of food for a fair price, even though they treat their customers in a very, very rude way. But they can do that, because they have no competition.

Lots of ski area when fully open. Only downside was closing of a couple of major lifts even when there was good snow coverage. I can only assume there was a lock of staff to run them. Lifts were opened at the weekend when there were more skiers but closed again later in the week. I wonder if this was a economical decision or a staff problem. Luckily we were usually able to go over to Souzi Doux when the gondola was open. When it is fully open it is great. Sestriere seems a little limited in the number of restaurants and bars available, even though it was quite quiet when we were there.

If all the lifts are open then Sestriere is a great place to ski but due to the low snowfall in December only half the lifts were open so there were a lot of waiting in queues. The link over to Sauze D'Oulx works well but coming back is very slow. There doesn't seem to be enough capacity in the restaurants during the holiday periods so recommend booking in advance if you're eating out.

Sestriere is located at 2000 m so there's no problem with snow even in the springtime. It's a quiet place very conveniently located close to the pistes. The pistes are wide and nice. Not so much of a party place which makes it even better.

Sestriere is a very comfortable and cozy place. The great advantage is that you don't have to take bus or walk long to reach the slopes. Probably we were lucky but there were no crowds on the slopes and we never had to wait in a line. At first we were not that much impressed with the local restaurants but then we found several wonderful places and bars where you can really enjoy yourself. We'll be coming back.

Sestriere is located at 2000 m so there's no problem with snow even in the springtime. It's a quiet place very conveniently located close to the pistes. The pistes are wide and nice. Not so much of a party place which makes it even better.

Sestriere is an OK destination. The snow and slopes in France were better.

Stourbridge (GB) He booked from: 2023-03-12 00:00:00 to 2023-03-17 23:59:00
Nice, friendly town. Good variety of slopes. Only real complaint is the slow and unreliable lifts - too often not working, so had to catch very infrequent bus from sauze d'oulx back to sestriere - which took 2 hours in total.
Raanana (IL) He booked from: 2023-01-30 00:00:00 to 2023-02-02 23:59:00
Sestriere itself is great My companit would be that we booked an Airbnb and it turned out to be through an agency (Hotdomus) - their service and communication is CRAP. And to top it off they charged us a deposit they werent supposed to...

Lift between Borgata and Sestriere closes too early . Allowing use of it during the evening for foot traffic only would improve transport between areas

Sestriere is a very comfortable and cozy place. The great advantage is that you don't have to take bus or walk long to reach the slopes. Probably we were lucky but there were no crowds on the slopes and we never had to wait in a line. At first we were not that much impressed with the local restaurants but then we found several wonderful places and bars where you can really enjoy yourself. We'll be coming back.
Sheffiled (GB) He booked from: 2023-02-12 00:00:00 to 2023-02-17 23:59:00
Sestriere is a great ski resort if you have good enough snow conditions and all the lifts are open. Be warned most of the lifts close at 4:00pm sharp and the lift staff couldn’t care less if you are stuck and can’t get back over to Sestriere. As for the French Montgenevre street included within the all areas lift pass. It’s definitely worth visiting but only by car as taking the lifts doesn’t give you enough time due to the unreasonable early closing and poor attitude of the lift staff. Especially considering the cost of the lift pass.

We enjoy staying at sestriere as a couple. However if you are looking for entertainment or nightlife in the afternoon it does not offer much.

Was a very Italian atmosphere geared more towards locals than tourists. Beautiful location with some good skiing routes however was a little bit icy in parts due to lack of snow this year
Abingdon (GB) He booked from: 2022-02-28 00:00:00 to 2022-03-05 23:59:00

Newcastle upon tyne (GB) He booked from: 2022-02-12 00:00:00 to 2022-02-14 23:59:00
Charming Italian resort, limited variety of runs, few blacks and lack of snow for the first 2 days of our 3 day stay meant navigating between the main ski areas required getting the bubble "down" the mountain, never a good thing. Good selection of fairly priced restaurants, bars and cafes with friendly staff everywhere,
Glossop (GB) He booked from: 2020-03-02 00:00:00 to 2020-03-06 00:00:00
MANY lifts not running in Sestriere and the surrounding areas. Not enough people / skiiers to justify all lifts open, but those pistes not available, therefore it is a small ski areas. Snow grooming brilliant. Only one lift out of Sestriere, often affected by wind!. But lift pass no too expensive!!??

Lot's of different slopes and the slopes were also in good shape. Not too long waiting time for lifts. The village is not too big but the services were ok.

A very pleasant resort with great connections to all of the Via Lattea. Look for the local 'Mom & Pop' restaurants - the food is amazing!
London (GB) He booked from: 2020-02-17 00:00:00 to 2020-02-20 00:00:00
Great skiing - huge area with a variety of runs. Very quiet in the evenings, not a huge choice of restaurants, I assume most people self catering since we were there in February half term & were often one of only 2 or 3 families eating out.
