Local Gastronomy & Piedmontese Cuisine

Sestriere, while an international resort, offers ample opportunities to savor the rich culinary traditions of Piedmont. Signature dishes include 'agnolotti del plin' (small pinched pasta), 'tajarin' (thin egg pasta), 'brasato al Barolo' (beef braised in Barolo wine), and a variety of cheeses like Castelmagno and Toma. Local specialties also feature cured meats, wild mushrooms, and polenta. Numerous restaurants, from casual trattorias to refined dining establishments, serve these dishes, often accompanied by excellent Piedmontese wines such as Barolo, Barbaresco, and Dolcetto. Notable restaurants often include 'La Baita del Gofre' for traditional mountain snacks or more upscale options like those within the luxury hotels.
