Sestriere, Torino (TO) Italy

Sestriere (at an altitude of 2035 meters or 6676 feet) is the most important tourist center of the Piedmont Alps. A long ski season is assured here between Christmas and Easter, helped by artificial snowmaking equipment if necessary. In fact, this is the capital of a vast ski domain known as the Milky Way, where there are ski trails stretching into France. Sestriere, which is on the World Cup ski circuit, offers cross-country skiing in winter. In summer there is golf on an 18-hole course and tennis. For information about opening of ski lifts during April, call the resort or Tourist Information on 0039 0122 755444 or Fax 0039 0122 755171.
