Summer

Sestriere has an active and full summer season. It’s a great location to base yourself if you’re wanting to explore the alps in all their summer glory. Enjoy long walks through stunning scenery or if you want to explore on 2 wheels then the mountain biking on offer is superb. Close by are many of the famous climbs of the Giro d’Italia and the Tour de France, in fact Sestriere itself has been used as a finishing town on many occasions. It also boasts the highest golf course in Europe at just over 2000m!
