Reviews by Sestriere

We really enjoyed our week in Sestriere. With 400 km of piste we never bored and we found the prices charged for lunch up the mountain very reasonable.

Didn't visit it

very good for intermediate skiers. Lift queues should be more actively managed by the attendants - very frustrating when there is eg a queue that one person goes up in on a six person seat

Sestriere is a lovely resort for intermediate and advanced skiers, slopes utoo sreep for beginners.

We were here for the 2025 Special Olympics World Games. The town is beautiful and welcoming. There were not enough public toilet facilities to accommodate the amount of people. The facilities inside the on slope bars and cafes were inadequate and dirty.

I thought the ski resort was good, although very busy and chaotic on the weekends. It was very friendly to tourists and easy to navigate. Could be improved with more facilities e.g. public toilets.

A good resort - great links into nearby resorts (though we took a coach rather than lifts to get to Montgenevre so we'd have more time there).

I have been coming to Sestriere for over 20 years and have always had the best experience.

Great restaurants, decent size ski area. The ski lifts would benefit from investment and the pistes could have been better groomed (we noticed that the quality of the lifts and skiing in Montgenevre was very much better).

Great skiing location and good variety of shops and restaurants

We absolutely loved The area and will 100% be returning.

Lovely ski area but the lifts are in desperate need of an update. Most are old and slow and none have no covers, which makes for very cold skiing.

Great for ease of access onto the slopes and into the wider 400km ski area.

Sestriere is a lovely resort with plenty of good red runs. However, the main Sestriere to Sauze d’Oux gondola lift can be shut due to high winds the other side, which does cut off your route to the rest of the ski region.

Very quiet town, ski lifts start late and close early (9-4), no shops, poor restaurants quality.

Great location, difficult and challenging runs across a large area

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.

Beautiful, first time in Sestriere and hopefully not the last. Slopes were great, enjoyed some sun and the locals were so friendly!

We love the relaxed atmosphere in Sestriere and the excellent ski facilities

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.

Much busy. But very nice place.

Nice varied resort, too busy at the weekend though

Very busy and too many ski schools

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.

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.

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.

Helpful peple awryware we go

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.

Quiet town, so I would recommend for Skiing only. Sauze d'oulx is a nice area to visit for a day or two.

I think great for a short stay , I was hoping for a bit more apres ski fun .

Good intermediate skiing , shame about a lot of runs being closed despite snow on them

The liftssystems in the city Are bad connected And the skibus should be free of charge.

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.

Great skiing and a friendly town. They kept a few slopes open as there was no snow fall when we were there.

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

no public buses, no grocery stores expect for the town centre, no taxis, limited number of restaurants, no spa

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.

An overall brilliant ski destination

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.

Really good facilities for adults and kids. Great skiing and wondeful ski schools. Highly recommended

Great place for novice & intermediate skiers to progress and the resort is good value and family friendly.

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.

Decent pistes, slow lifts with dissapointingly few open. Good food, but relatively quiet apres.

Love it. Return year after year. Snow sure.

We love Sestriere it is such a shame the snow was not great

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,

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!!??

Lacked a cute bar half way up with am which to ski down to town to.

Great ski area & well maintained slopes. Lots of lifts but can get very busy. Resort restaurants are ok but was a bit disappointed with choice of menus on offer. Quieter more family type resort, not a party town like some resorts.

A very pleasant resort with great connections to all of the Via Lattea. Look for the local 'Mom & Pop' restaurants - the food is amazing!

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.

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.

Depends what you are looking for, great skiing for intermediate level but not the best family resort. No supermarket and the small grocery shops are very expensive. YES Academy ski school was excellent.

Via Lattea has a excellent range of slopes for intermediate+ skiers. With several mountains connected by lifts and trails there is a lot to explore over several days. Slopes are well maintained and the lines are reasonable. Great food in many slope-side restaurants.

Small resort in terms of things to do. But some good bars including Pinky's which has live music and if you buy a drink provide snacks. Also bar spotty has a great selection of gins

Everything is old. The buildings, hotels, shops and certainly the ski lifts are very slow.

A very friendly resort with helpful staff, conditions not too good the week we were there but that's always pot luck

Fantastic resort will defintely be back

Hotel sud ouest/ Pinkies Bar

Bella e accogliente

Bellissimo manca un centro fitness e piscine

È il 4 anno che torno a Sestriere sia d'estate che d'inverno. Secondo il mio punto di vista si potrebbero offrire più attività inerenti le ciaspole e sfruttare anche sentieri estivi inserendo brevi tratti o deviazioni per completare molti più sentieri ciaspole al di fuori del solito Monterotta. La cosa che sconsiglio vivamente è di venire qui quando ci sono competizioni perché le strutture che ospitano quasi tutti atleti hanno esigenze particolari tipo alzarsi molto presto al mattino disturbando gli altri ospiti che diventano di serie B perché tutta l'attenzione è rivolta agli atleti. Questa stessa sensazione è possibile sperimentarla in strutture che ospitano grossi gruppi di turisti inglesi che pagano prezzi più bassi degli italiani ma che a livello di educazione lasciano a desiderare. Questa è la realtà purtroppo il dio denaro ha stravolto le cose .

Non ci sono tanti comprensori come la via lattea, unico neo è che alcuni impianti essenziali per il collegamento sono obsoleti (la seggiovia con sci in mano da Cesana a Colle Bercia è inaccettabile). Certo il prezzo dello skipass rispetto alle Dolomiti giustifica quanto sopra detto.

postazione ottima

impianti veloci ma tutti scoperti. rispetto ad altre mete sono rimasti un po' indietro.

Sarebbe utile consultare in tempo reale su cellulare quali piste e quali impianti sono aperti.

Non ho avuto modo di valutare la stazione turistica per cui il valore è impostato solo per chiudere questa analisi

Abituata all'Alto Adige, sono rimasta molto delusa. Impianti vecchi e lenti, con lunghe code, piste mal tenute con macchie di erba e terriccio che si allargano ogni giorno di più, collegamento da Fraiteve a Sauze d'Oulx scandaloso: stradina stretta, non sufficientemente innevata, senza protezioni sul lato dello strapiombo, addirittura in un punto c'erano ben tre metri di terreno nudo. Non tornerò e non lo consiglierò.

Non è ammissibile che in alta stagione neanche metà degli impianti siano aperti .

Probabilmente a causa del periodo di altissima stagione, l’eccessiva folla e le conseguenti code agli impianti rendono la valutazione complessiva appena sufficiente, soprattutto in considerazione dello scarso numero di piste aperte e scarsità di neve.

A fine marzo sempre tanta e buona neve. Quest'anno spettacolare

Il Sestriere è l'ideale per la quantità di piste presenti, l'unica pecca è la partenza mattutina dove si deve fare la fila al primo impianto (seggiovia a 6), poi ci si disperde nelle tante piste

le piste sono belle e abbastanza ben tenute, il paese si nota che è di fatto una pura stazione turistica, manca un poco di anima.

il comprensorio dovrebbe essere gestito meglio! Non sono segnalate le piste a dovere. Sono salito per riscendere su una pista rossa che ho trovato chiusa e solo fortunatamente ho scoperto che si poteva scendere su una variante blu, non segnalata, evitando così una pista nera difficile e pericolosa alle mie figlie. Ci vorrebbe poco per sollevare il livello del servizio...

Ottima località per tutti i livelli di sci, in particolare per noi principianti. Belle piste blu.

Piste belle. mio figlio da principiante si è divertito molto. Grazie ai tapis roulant è stato facile anche per lui imparare e già dal secondo giorno andava da solo.

consigliato, confortevole

Bel posto, pochi locali e ristornati di qualità.

Uno dei migliori comprensori in cui sciare.

Bellissima location, elegante, raffinata, quasi magica. Per sciare, tantissime piste per ogni livello.

Impianti di risalita da migliorare

bella ma troppa gente, code da tutte le parti

Impianti di collegamento Sestriere -San Sicario e Sestriere - Salice quasi sempre chiusi o non funzionanti anche con buone condizioni meteo

Nonostante avessi sbagliato giorno si sono dimostrati molto disponibili ed alla fine mi hanno risolto il problema e noleggiato la e-bike ad un prezzo competitivo. La stazione turistica di Sestriere necessita di miglioramenti da parte delle strutture ricettive incluso ristoranti per quanto riguarda la stagione estiva. Troppo chiasso la notte inoltre e troppi cani in giro nonostante sia un amante degli animali.

Piste corte, strette e impianti vecchi.

Frequento Sestriere da oltre quarant'anni. Siamo ancora lontani dagli standard delle località montane top a cui Sestriere dovrebbe di diritto appartenere.

Sestriere è punto di partenza ideale per fantastici percorsi sia in bicicletta che a piedi. In estate clima ideale per godersi sport e natura.

Negoziati molto gentile, turisti educati

Una goduria

Migliorabile come strutture, ma posizione splendida.

Un paradiso per lo sport sia estivo che invernale

neve e piste anche nell'ultima di marzo 22, peccato la decisione di chiudere molti impianti, soprattutto di collegamento!

Troppa gente, nessun controllo COVID agli impianti. Sciare al Sestriere è una esperienza che peggiora di anno in anno. Trovare un posto dove mangiare è una impresa. Va bene il periodo di punta. Ma così non va bene

bellissimo posto

Sempre un gran bel posto per chi ha la passione della mountain bike

Ha potenzialità estive per walking, rum e MTB infinite, sfruttate al minimo, se avessero voglia di incentivazione sui gruppi sportivi amatoriali nazionali dei tre settori avrebbero anche fondi per migliorare le carenze di ricezione (hotel e case un po' datate)

Personale ottimo, molto disponibile. Prezzi moderati ma e-mtb fantastiche.

Sicuramente la mtb non è sfruttata per il suo potenziale. Segnaletica sentieri approssimativa, mancano cartelloni con le mappe se non sei del posto fai un po’ di fatica a capire dove andare.

Comprensorio molto bello, peccato solo per gli impianti piuttosto datati che non sono in grado di smaltire le file, soprattutto nei punti di collegamento tra una località e l'altra e che non prevedono alcuna protezione dal vento.

Ottime piste per tanto divertimento

Sempre troppo piena di gente, che va bene..però per sciare in tranquillità neanche troppo.

Comprensorio sciistico molto bello, ma con alcune lacune per le risalite , il paesino è piccolo ma con tutti i servizi

Buone piste e impianto. Non abbiamo potuto usufruirne del tutto causa maltempo.

La segnaletica sulle piste è imbarazzante. Quando abbiamo incontrato dei cartelli, o erano minuscoli o nascosti, o comunque non ben visibili. Pochi segnali di indicazioni e pochi segnali di difficoltà della pista. Non tutti i pilastri delle seggiovie o telecabine sono protetti da gommapiuma, per non parlare degli alberi ai lati della pista... Alcuni impianti sono molto vecchi e un paio alqualto fatiscenti. Inoltre in biglietteria non c'è la giusta sensibilizzazione all'assicurazione per infortuni. In una località sciistica così rinomata e altolocata, che ospita anche la coppa del mondo, è inaccettabile questa organizzazione.

Per chi vuole sciare, puoi fare quello che vuoi dalle Piste facili alle difficili a quelle in mezzo gli alberi anche cambiando paese facilmente..a borgata hotel vicinissimo alle piste Con deposito entravo Sci ai piedi

In inverno il comprensorio sciistico è notevole, con collegamenti che spaziano fino a Claviere, passando per Sansicario, e Sauze d'Oulx. In estate, la stagione della montagna che preferisco, possibilità di escursioni per tutti i livelli, ampia scelta di percorsi in mtb, campo da golf. Per giovani e meno giovani parecchi locali interessanti compreso un cinema e una discoteca. In paese da migliorare, secondo me, le condizioni delle strade, di alcuni marciapiedi, e alcuni dettagli dell'arredo urbano che potrebbero fare la differenza in positivo anche confrontandoci con località in altre regioni, come Valle d'Aosta o Trentino Alto Adige. Credo che Sestriere abbia ottime possibilità di crescita, è da valorizzare. Come proprietario di casa a Sestriere consiglio ampiamente un soggiorno.

Ottima locato.

Personale sugli impianti gentili e ottimo comprensorio sciistico

Tutto nelle vicinanze, sia locali, che noleggi molto vicini alle piste. Apprezzata la comodità!

Impianti da rinnovare urgentemente, collegamenti lenti, difficile allontanarsi se si hanno orari. Piste bellissime

Impianti chiusi

la città era un po' morta, ma al momento è normale. il comprensorio sciistico molto piacevole e ampio con due piste di montagna e accesso alla Francia

È sempre stato un ottimo posto per chi ama sciare.Cominciando alle 9 e finendo alle 16.30,si può non ripetere la stessa pista,volendo esplorare tutte le possibilità,il comprensorio è davvero enorme.Bisogna essere sciatori capaci

E' stata una delusione trovare aperte solo tre seggiovie ed i collegamenti della via lattea tutti chiusi

Località stupenda, piste meravigliose, ma impianti di risalita troppo vecchi e lenti e metodo di prenotazione e ritiro skipass obsoleto.

Great ski area

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.

Great place, better supermarket would be better! Awesome food and wine, Bombardino is brilliant

All shops shut around 7pm

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...

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

Lift system was very dated and in need of upgrade. We had to queue for long periods

There needs to be more information in the resorts about which lifts or pistes are closed. And better local weather information for the day.

Domaine skiable très bien adapté pour passer une semaine variée sur le domaine.

Station où on se sent très bien, beaucoup de commerces qui restent ouverts. Beaucoup de possibilité de randonnées ou de parcours VTT, trsè bien pour quelques jours voire une semaine

Très beau domaine skiable mais équipements peu développés

Hébergements non skis aux pieds, enneigement faible, très longue attente aux télésièges lors de météo venteuse ... seulement 3 remontées et pas de liaison possible ,( plus de 20 min d'attente...), piste de luge payante 5 e par enfant à 10 minutes de la fermeture ... pas de ski cross ou zone ludique,...
