Sestrière (Via Lattea) Ski Resort Guide
Sestrière (Via Lattea) Ski Resort Guide (resort name also written as Sestriere (Via Lattea))
Sestrière lies at the heart of the Milky Way which offers almost 400 km of piste. There is a great selection of runs for all abilities that start in the town centre. Another bonus is the modern lift system which is much faster than neighbouring Sauze! Sestrière is a good base from which to explore the Milky Way, but be warned, some lifts close with little warning if the wind gets up and a taxi back from France is not cheap. The resort itself went through a bit of a make over in the run up to the Olympics, this was good in the long run as it meant faster lifts and more pleasing buildings. There are some decent bars to be found at Sestrière that provide lively entertainment!

Visitor Reviews of Sestrière (Via Lattea)
JP from United Kingdom writes:
Went to Sestrière at the end of March 2009 - 2nd time skiing. Too much for the girlfriend who needed a little more confidence!
Skiing was good, weather was great, tons of snow whilst we were there.
Hotel de Col was OK, but somewhat in need of an update/re-decorate! Very close to slopes and so unfaultable from that perspective.
Sestrière town itself was not as pretty as Austria, but coming round to the opinion that nowhere is!
