Sestriere is the world's original purpose-built altitude ski village and remains one of Europe's highest resorts.
Sestriere was built by the family that owned the Fiat Car Company and remained in their possession until early in 2007 when it was disposed of as part of a swathe of asset sales. Under their ownership, the resort was a pioneer of snowmaking and built up an arsenal of nearly 1,000 snow guns in the 1970s and 80s, long before most of Europe began thinking about snowmaking at all. The combination of altitude and snowmaking makes Sestriere one of the world's most snowsure resorts.
Sestriere was also a host to the World Alpine Ski Championships in 1997 and alpine events in the 2006 Turin Winter Olympics.
It is the main resort on the giant Via Lattea (Milky Way) pass which links Sestriere's neighbour Sauze d'Oulx to Montgenèvre in France, via Sansicario, Cesana and border-village Claviere. Skiers at Sestriere have access to 440km (275 miles) of ski runs.
