The lift system leaves much to be desired and the limited maps were unimpressive. The facilities on the mountain were not great - limited food (& not great options). I usually ski in Austria and this trip did nothing to convince me to try Itally again.

Experienced skiers. Just a few tips about the resort ! One Main Street. Main lifts and ticket office located top left of the street as you look up ! Small supermarket and cafes, shops etc located in this area. At the top of the street is a small round about. There are further shops etc located on the road that rises to the right ! An excellent pizza fast food take away located on the right hand side. Open late. Good to know as many places close early. If you get mist don’t be put off ! It comes and goes depending on altitude across the ski area ! Food on the mountains can be hit and miss. It’s not France. School type dinner scenarios in restaurants on the slopes ….. If in doubt go in first and have a look ! Lots of frozen chips and questionable mains. Beer tends to be large pints about 8 Euro. House wine good value. The igloo bar and eatery located main slope area Sestriere. Good for lunch and most skiers drink here after skiing and boarding. Food is good. Italian pasta, burgers etc. Guaranteed decent ski food. Explore the ski area. It’s worth doing. The ski pass does not include Montegenevre. Although the area is on the ski map you need a separate day pass ( France ). Easy access but obtain an additional pass from the ticket office. In short. Decent ski area. Had plenty of snow. People friendly. Runs nice and quiet out of the main area. Another area ticked off the list ! Would I return ? Maybe. Offers everything for all levels. Would be ideal for beginners and those alike.

I chose TH Sestriere – Olympic Village for a special week in the snow with my daughter and my son, making her big dream of a holiday on the Olympic slopes come true. It was a truly magical week. The location is perfect—ski-in/ski-out with breathtaking views—plus a modern gym, indoor pool, and spa that make the resort ideal all year round, with or without snow. We stayed in a spacious suite with two double beds and two bathrooms, impeccably maintained and extremely comfortable. For my daughter’s birthday, they surprised us with a beautiful cake and sparkling wine: such a thoughtful gest. Excellent service, varied and abundant cuisine, spacious and welcoming common areas. Outstanding value for money. We will definitely return—heartfelt thanks to the entire staff, and especially to the manager!

Although a lovely little town, the availability of taxis is very poor. When I came up from train station, the bus dropped me off at the town square, a nice man told me where to go & I had to walk with my luggage to Palace 1 as i could not find any taxi service & volunteers didn't know of any (I am 76 yrs. old & that was a major trek with luggage, if I had to go to Palace 2, I would have been in major discomfort). Return bus service from hotel to ski area was wonderful but was over at 5:15. Because of transportation & being sick, I did not eat much while there - I found a small grocery store & bought breakfast needs & did eat something at ski hill before returning for night but once back to hotel in evening did not go out as I did not know of transportation. I did find some on my last night but much too late (& expensive) to be useful. To be truthful, if I was feeling better I probably would have found other options, but in general not impressed with Sestriere. Another thing lacking is adequate wifi.

Sestriere is great, love the food in town and the skiing. But sadly we didnt get good snow til our last day so lots of runs were closed and the snow was very icy and crunchy. Id recommend later january or february for optimal conditions.

For New Years week, half the slopes weren't open. Lifts were JAMMED on the Sunday and Monday; less bad midweek. No mid mountain lifts at Sestriere, but Borgata had at least one, but it was closed. Also very limited toilettes on the mountain. Only one on-slope restaurant on Sestrier mountain.
