sestriere

piedmont

Sestriere is a very important ski resort of the North of Italy. In 1930, a Senator Agnelli built the first ski-lift, together with the famous round tower hotels. Thus was created Italy's first modern ski-resort, which has now grown into a stylish destination. 1½ mls long and 600 yds wide, it is small enough to get around easily but big enough to offer a wide variety of shops, accommodation and principally good-quality skiing. Most of the modern buildings are privately owned holiday apartments, so the place is much busier at weekends and at Italian holidays.
