THE EXPERIENCE

Freeride Sestriere – Vialattea

A day of off-piste skiing to discover the snow and the best slopes of the Vialattea.

Leave the beaten track and explore the wilder side of the Vialattea. Between wide slopes at high altitude, valleys and descents into the woods, the area offers numerous possibilities for those who want to experience the mountains beyond the ski slopes.

Thanks to the vast network of ski lifts, we can range between Sestriere, Pragelato and Sauze d'Oulx, exploring different environments and exposures in search of the best snow conditions.

Accompanied by a mountain guide, we will choose the itineraries based on the snow and weather conditions and the level of the group, adapting the program during the day.

THE PATH

The program.

08:00 – Meeting and briefing

Meeting with the guide, equipment check and briefing on snow conditions, safety and the use of avalanche self-rescue equipment: avalanche transceiver, shovel and probe.

09:00 – Discovering freeriding

Using the Vialattea ski lifts, we will begin to explore the off-piste slopes of the area.

Depending on the conditions we will be able to choose between the wide slopes of Sestriere, the areas of Pragelato and the woods of Sauze d'Oulx, alternating descents on ungroomed snow and travel across the area.

During the day there will be space to improve off-piste skiing technique, learn to read the terrain and delve deeper into some aspects of mountain safety.
