Astronomical Observatory of Sestriere

Perched at a high altitude, the Sestriere Astronomical Observatory offers exceptional opportunities for stargazing due to the minimal light pollution in the area. Open to the public during specific evenings (primarily summer and winter peak seasons, subject to weather), it provides guided tours and observation sessions through powerful telescopes. Visitors can learn about constellations, planets, and deep-sky objects. Booking in advance is often required, and a small entrance fee (e.g., €5-€10) may apply. An enriching experience for families and anyone interested in the cosmos.
