SanSicario Ski Resort
These resorts are part of a linked ski area in the Milky Way region of Italy, with links to neighbouring ski locations Sestriere, Sauze d’Oulx and Claviére. The region has benefited from the investment of hosting the lucrative 2006 Winter Olympic Games and the destinations are brilliant for fun and satisfying skiing. The wide-ranging slopes and uncrowded runs suggest perfect conditions to cruise at your own pace. The resorts are truly set in the wilderness, so expect to wrap up warm from arrival!
Beginners
The Baby Sansicario chairlift takes beginners up to the top of a couple of gentle blues and with guidance from the excellent ski school first time skiers are soon progressing to the higher slopes. Some slopes are quite precarious for the complete novice but there are some very sound runs through the woods which will help you gain confidence.
Intermediates
The Milky Way area is a utopia for intermediate skiers presenting new adventures and exploring every day no matter what resort you choose. It's simple to glide over to the pleasant wooded trails above neighbouring Sauze d'Oulx. The trails over to Montgenèvre can be tackled by intermediate skiers via blues and reds. It is an exciting trip as you have the feeling of travelling from village to village.
Advanced
There are some challenging blacks in Fraiteve and Moncrons and the off-piste is rarely skied out. Intermediates and advanced skiers may want to try their hand at the Olympic run or take the new bubble over to Sestriere to access some of the more challeging slopes on offer.
Snowboarding
The link over to Sauze d'Oulx provides boarders access to the boarding park with jumps and rails.
