Olympic Bobsleigh Track Experience (Cesana Pariol)

A short drive from Sestriere, the Cesana Pariol bobsleigh track, built for the Turin 2006 Winter Olympics, offers the unique opportunity to experience the high-speed thrill of bobsleighing or skeleton. Visitors can ride as a passenger with professional pilots in a 'Taxi Bob' or 'Speed Skeleton,' reaching speeds of up to 100 km/h and experiencing G-forces similar to those of professional athletes. This facility is generally open during specific winter weekends and holidays, from December to March, with bookings highly recommended. The experience lasts approximately 15-20 minutes, including safety briefings, and costs typically range from €80-€100 per ride. It's a spectacular way to connect with Olympic history and feel the adrenaline of a true winter sport.
