Sestriere is located in the province of Turin, on top of the homonymous hill that joins two valleys: Susa and Chisone. It is the highest town with a city Hall in Italy (2035 m). It was founded by Giovanni Agnelli (founder of Fiat) starting from 1930; year in which he bought the land and started the construction of two hotels (known as “the towers”) and three cable cars on three mountains: Sises, Banchetta and Fraiteve.

From those days on, Sestriere has always expanded to become one of the most famous ski resorts in Europe. It is part of the Via Lattea ski area (Milky Way), together with Claviere, Cesana, San Sicario, Oulx, Sauze d’ Oulx and Pragelato in Italy, plus Montgenevre in France. The Milky Way offers 249 tracks and 70 ski lifts: long and sunny slopes from which you can admire the grandeur and splendor of the Alps.
The highest point accessible by ski is the summit of Monte Motta (2800 m)
