Sestriere

Italy

Sestriere

Sestriere is a purpose-built high-altitude giant in the Italian Piedmont, originally founded by the Fiat dynasty and immortalized as a centerpiece of the 2006 Winter Olympics. Sitting at 2,035m, it serves as the primary gateway to the massive 400km Milky Way (Via Lattea) circuit, which spans both Italy and France. Known for its wide, fast, high-speed motorway cruising runs and robust racing pedigree, it offers an efficient, snow-sure alpine experience for intermediate and expert riders alike.
