About the area
Sestriere in Piedmont has 57.55 km of marked pistes, and the split explains who it works for: 25.23 km blue and 21.87 km red, so intermediates ski most of the mountain. Beginners are well served too, with 47% of pistes green or blue (27 km), 21 short easy runs next to a lift base and 4 magic carpets for first turns. Families get 2 gondola/cable-car lifts, so small children avoid chairlift loading. Committed experts will run short of terrain: 8 km of black/expert/freeride (15%), and the longest vertical on a single run is 514 m.
The 22 lifts are 8 chairlifts, 8 platters, 1 gondola, 1 cable car and 4 magic carpets. Skiing runs from 1600 m up to 2786 m, and the longest descent measures 4785 m. There is 1.01 km of floodlit piste for evening laps.
