Ski holidays Cesana Torinese – Idyllic ski holidays with the "La Dolce Vita"-charm!

Cesana Torinese

In the Italian Alps, near the French border, the small Italian community of Cesana Torinese lies at an altitude of 1,354 metres. It is situated between the two winter sports resorts of Sestriere (Italy) and Mongenèvre (France). Together with five other small communes and the associated ski areas, the three villages form Italy's largest ski area, the "Via Lattea" ski association, which translates as "Milky Way". Cesana Torinese is therefore the perfect starting point for a fantastic winter sports experience. And that's not all:

As small as Cesana Torinese may be, it has already made a name for itself worldwide as a winter sports destination: When nearby Turin hosted the 2006 Olympic Winter Games, Cesana Torinese was the venue for biathlon, bobsleigh, luge and skeleton competitions. In 2011, the small community also hosted another important winter sports competition - the World Luge Championships.

Via Lattea

The extensive Via Lattea ski area is located directly on the French-Italian border at an altitude of 1,380 - 2,800 metres. The ski area can be accessed from both Italy and France. With 400 kilometres of pistes and 70 lifts, the "Milky Way" offers galactic skiing fun for every level of ability! Made famous by the 1997 World Ski Championships and most recently by the 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin, the Via Lattea offers numerous challenging runs. Sestriere was once again the venue for the Ski World Cup in the 2016/17 season.
