Snow Conditions in the Milky Way

The Milky Way is generally known for its good snow condition and this may also be one of the deciding factors for hosting the Olympic Games there. Its high altitude allows for some excellent snow conditions for most of the season which usually runs from December and all through April. More than half of the area's slopes have snowmaking machines on standby to provide cover for any snow shortages during the season. Sestriere is the highest positioned resort and boasts of some of the best conditions in the region.

Milky Way Ski Holidays

Apres Ski in the Milky Way

The Milky Way apres-ski is a varied experience but overall a more relaxed affair. The resorts ( Montgenerve) are relatively smaller than their French counterparts over the border and the general theme in most of the resorts is more family-friendly. There is still a general excitement in the air and there are bars and restaurants available for an evening drink but the raucous party atmosphere is largely subdued in most areas around the Milky Way.

For the best apres ski experience, Sauze d’Oulx takes the trophy for the liveliest apres-ski in the Milky Way. Against the beautiful traditional buildings and the historic charm, there is a party atmosphere on the rise.

  • Caffe Della Seggiovia is a lovely wine bar with an impressive wine selection; most of which are locally sourced from the Piedmont region. They also have beers from a local microbrewery from the region. Not too keen on wine or beers? Check out the great cocktail menu and kickstart a great evening. Favoured by locals and visitors alike.
  • Snugmost of children’s and cosy haven on cold winter nights due to its large open fire and friendly atmosphere, The Derby is a bar and lounge that offers a range of cocktails and other drinks. Famed for its themed party nights, live music and friendly staff, The Derby should be on your apres ski list.
  • For travelling Brits looking for an overseas ‘local’, look out for the Moncrons. Present in Sauze d’Oulx for over 30 years, this friendly bar has a great drink selection and pub feel. Catch all the football and other sporting events on live satellite TV.

  • Spa and Pool in the Milky Way

    There is hardly anything better than relaxing your muscles in a series of spa sessions. Relax and recharge in several spa and wellness centres available in the Milky Way. The majority of the spa’s and pools in the Milky way region operate within hotels or apartment styled hotels and regardless of whether or not you are a guest of the establishment, you will most likely be able to get an appointment for a treatment. If you are located in Sauze d’Oulx, the recently refurbished Chaberton Lodge & Spa is home to the Regeneration wellness centre which has a spa, sauna, steam room and external plunge pool. Massage treatments by trained masseuses can be arranged as well. Hotel Majestic in Sansicario also has a top-quality spa featuring a range of facilities including an indoor swimming pool for relaxing sessions after a day on the slopes.

  • Shops in the Milky Way

    There are a few places to shop across the Milky Way. The smaller resorts of Cesana and Claviere may not have the extensive variety of large shops; you are better off heading to Sauze d’Oulx or Sestriere for more variety. Sauze d’Oulx has a range of shops from clothing, sports equipment, gifts and souvenirs available. Not known for its large shopping centres or viewed as a shopping destination, the Milky Way is made up of purpose-built resorts focused on skiing and other outdoor activities.
