Personal favourites:
Olympic black over the top in Sansicario is my favourite, good long challenging run (more red than black) followed by run through the trees to the base station. chairs in Sansicario are quite fast, though you do need a longish drag back to the top.
The blue run (road?) From the far right of Sestriere to Pragelato (about half way down facing right from the top of Sestriere) - not at all challenging, but long, flattering and quite picturesque.
In good conditions the home runs from from Sportinia and top of the Clotes lift are fun, but best earlier in the day as very busy later.
Have a great time, out there again in 3 weeks

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Been twice recently and a definite +1 for the Olympic black into Sansicario. Last year we also did the Gran Pista in Sauze top to bottom (I believe it isn’t always open to the bottom if snow is poor) several times and loved each go. I am probably similar standard and willl certainly return in the near future, so suspect you will love it

Sounds good, might even give the black a try too, not a billiant intermediate but will fry slide down it , increase the confidence a bit .
thanks

The Olympic is very wide so plenty of room to turn. It is steepish but not scarily so and is a pretty constant gradient. Worth a go if the snow is good and the sun out.

From memory (a few years ago now), most of the Sauze area is pretty decent, with good variation. The one downside is the chairlifts, which seemed old and very slow compared to most popular French resorts.
Although it's mainly about the hotel, you might find my original review helpful.
