Rent a complete ski package in Sestriere: skis, boots, and poles. The most cost-effective way to get all the gear you need for a ski holiday.
Sestriere hosted the 2006 Winter Olympics and connects to the vast Via Lattea ski circuit.
Sestriere is the highest base in the Italian Alps at 2,035m, guaranteeing natural snow cover throughout the season. It connects to Sauze d'Oulx, Cesana, Claviere, and the French resort of Montgenèvre via the Via Lattea lift pass — 400 km of cross-border piste.
Renting ski equipment in Sestriere is the smart choice for most visitors. Luggage costs for ski gear can exceed the price of a week-long rental, and local shops offer complete ski package perfectly tuned for Sestriere's terrain — all levels level, 400 km of pistes at up to 2823m.
Sestriere was built for the 1930s Fiat ski corporate holidays, and its distinctive circular Torre Bianca and Torre Nera hotels still dominate the skyline; the village is markedly quieter than its party-heavy neighbour Sauze d'Oulx.
Typical daily complete ski package in Sestriere costs €22–€44. Booking a full week package usually saves 15–25% compared to daily rates.
Use Sestriere as the base for the Milky Way circuit rather than Sauze — the high altitude means lifts open earlier, and the descent to Cesana has the longest vertical of any piste in the entire system.
