Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

We are venturing on our first ever ski holiday to Italy. Sestriere 1/4/7 - 8/4/7
Are there any Snowheads in resort that week?
Anybody been there?
Whats it like?
Maybe give us some tips re: Bars, Restaurants, Ski runs.
Had a great time meeting up with fellow Snowheads in 3V in Feb, would be good to do likewise this trip.
We are staying in the hotel Cavalieri.

Spyderman, Finally found your thread - I don't have much info other than we visited Claviere for the day and the snow was good. We lunched at the Monsoleil which was very nice and excellent value. I am pretty sure you can get over to Claviere from Sestriere. snowHead

Spyderman, our very own Linds did a half season in Montgenevre (well, she is only little)... she's probably got some ideas for you. I'll let her know about this thread Laughing

IncogSkiSno,
Looks like Claviere is pretty easy to get to, so eill give that a go. Is the Monsoleil
Restaurant on the mountain or in the village?
Michelle,
Thanks for that. I see you've been to Sauze, what's it like? as Sestriere looks like an easy link.

We can move around pretty quickly, so covering big distances, any terrain, no problem. As long as the lifts and snow are OK.

 Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Spyderman, the snow in Sauze was great a couple of weeks ago, but very windy, so the links weren't always open - take care that you don't get stuck, the taxis love it!

Spyderman, On the mountain - but please don't ask where, I just follow . . . also not completely sure of exact spelling Confused Oh and the pistes were uncrowded, as was Montgenevre which was also good snowHead

Here are some pics from Claviere:






This is part of the restaurant, it is the Monsoleil.

IncogSkiSno,
Nice pics, looks good. Must have been a good restaurant if you took pics of it. What do you recommend? I'll eat anything.

Michelle,
What are the runs like in general? Is there enough to keep me busy for a week?

chris,
Thanks, been checking the webcams & forecasts, looks like they could do with some more though. Been deciding which skis to take, normally drive so take them all, but flying this time so only 1 pair allowed. Think I'll take the big ones and hope for soft snow, can always hire some if rock hard.

 You know it makes sense.

Last week in March.

There was nothing but snow there. That included Montgenevre, Claviere, Sansicario and Sesrtiere.

Didn't managed Sauze d'Oulx as the link was closed due to avalanche risk!.

Bottom of Sestriere is the highest at 2035m above sea level among the Milky Way and the condition I saw at the last week of March was "perfect".

I drove from Briancon everyday to ski 3 days in Milky Way. On one day there was an accident as several cars crashed into each other due to snow. On another a big traffic hold up because lorries were stopping to fit snow chains!.

Spyderman,

Nice photos. Great also as evidence that I was not telling lies.


If I have to guess where were nigel b photos taken I would bet it was at the top of the 1st chairlift of Claviere coming from the Cesana side (which has a godola system to the opposite side Sansicario). The lowest chairlift and bottom godola at Cesana have no piste and so any snow there is useless. Elsewhere in the mountain the snow condition was a totally different matter.

I have a very good impression of the Milky Way especially with Sestriere. A resort starting at 2035m above sea level is not common in the Alpes.
