Summer Season at Sestriere

When the snow melts, Sestriere sheds its white mantle to reveal lush green meadows, challenging mountain biking trails, and some of Europe's highest golf courses. The summer offers a complete contrast to the winter frenzy, appealing to hikers, cyclists, and those seeking cooler temperatures and pristine alpine air. The landscape invites exploration, from gentle walks around the resort to more demanding ascents of surrounding peaks like Monte Fraiteve or Monte Motta. Mountain biking is a major draw, with the 'Sestriere Olympic Biking Park' offering trails for all levels, from cross-country to downhill. Road cyclists flock to tackle the legendary climbs of the Giro d'Italia that pass through the area, including the iconic Colle del Sestriere. The Sestriere Golf Club, an 18-hole course at over 2,000 meters, provides a unique high-altitude golfing experience. Beyond sports, the summer brings a calendar of cultural events, food festivals, and opportunities to connect with the natural beauty of the Piedmontese Alps. The vibe is relaxed yet active, perfect for outdoor adventurers and families seeking an escape from the heat.
