Mail for help.Help!!

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 :-)

Sestriere accommodation and piste map

 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead
Can anyone recommend accommodation in Sestriere, or a way to find some? Ideally self catering but also hotels (2-3* sufficient).

Also, can anyone find a detailed piste map? The versions I've seen show almost no blue runs - that cannot be right from what I remember but I've only been there a day and haven't really spent any time on piste...

For instance: http://www.worldsnowboardguide.com/upload/images/all/AEYCADHW.jpg

or

The resort website is pants (even the Italian version) compared to Austrian and French ones.

there's one big long blue from top to bottom, a fair few blues lower down and apart from that mostly reds of various gradients, some of which would be fine for a blue piste skier...

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

Thats about as good as you'll get piste map wise.

Google works wonders:

Thanks guys. I had missed the Via Lattea website and the better quality map. I sent them an email with a request for offers.

I stumbled across www.sestriere-online.com which has some good info on the resort. It also has a hotel search facility which by the look of it allows you to book online too. The piste map however still leaves a little to be desired.

We went in 2006, just before the olympics so the olympic apartments were being used for their origional purpose, but they may be a good SC option.

Hotel wise, the Hotel du Col had a great location, rooms ok, food ok.


Enjoy.

have you checked out http://www.tripadvisor.com/Hotels-g194919-Sestriere_Piedmont-Hotels.html ?

I know TA can be a bit of a pain as there is always a few people who find each hotel dire but you have to take some of these reports with a pinch of salt and look for the underlying sentiment. Also worth filtering out some of the bad reports by type. i.e. if a hotel is supposed to be good for young people often the worst reports are from older people and vice versa.
