Sestriere is among the earliest purpose-built ski resorts in the Italian Alps. It's also one of the highest sitting resorts in the Milky Way ski area at 2,035 metres. It has fantastic snow conditions thanks in part to its high altitude and north-west facing slopes. Sestriere gained international recognition as it hosted the World Cup Ski races back in February1997 and the World Winter Olympics in 2006. As part of the Milky Way ( also commonly known as the Vialattea), Sestriere has access to up to 400 kilometres of pistes across a range of difficulties and suitable for all ski ability levels.

The default lift pass in Sestriere is the Milky Way lift pass which grants full and unlimited access to the Milky Way including all the resorts within its circuit. You can purchase different variations and discounts on the lift pass depending on your current situation and length of stay. There are usually standard discounts available from criteria such as age of the skier to time spent on the slopes. We have detailed a few standard variations and discounts. If you are planning on booking a holiday to Sestriere, please contact us for more information on any developments on ski passes discounts.
Beginner Ski Pass
The Sestiere Beginner ski passes are exclusive to the resort grant access only to the lifts in the local Sestriere area and beginners slopes. The pass does not include the wider Milky Way ski area.
Half Day Ski Pass
A half-day pass allows skiing 1 pm onwards. Ideal for skiers that engage in non-ski activities in the morning and ski in the evening. Perhaps it's also a perfect option for the apres-ski party people who stayed up all night and need a late morning start.

Where Can I buy a Sestriere Ski pass?
You can buy your Sestriere ski pass from any of the ticket offices or ticket machines below the lifts at the resort. It is a relatively small resort so either of the ticket points is hard to miss. There are ticket offices in the resort centre, at the end of the row of shops facing the slopes, as well as the bottom of the Fraiteve gondola. The main ski pass office is located in Piazza Agnelli.

How Do Ski Passes Work in Sestriere?
When purchased, the ski pass access is electronically added to a smart card which you should always have in your possession when heading out to the slopes.
The card functions in a similar fashion to most travel and metro cards; just swipe or scan yourself through the lifts for access to the slopes. Some can be kept in front or sleeve pockets for contactless access and remote activation of the card.
