Group skiing holidays are great with all the fun and camaraderie that a number of like minded friends have when they get together on a skiing holiday. Whilst you may have organised a ski holiday for yourself or your family booking one for a group of perhaps 8 or more people presents a different challenge. Using a ski holiday specialist is the best place to start because you will receive friendly, efficient and helpful service from their experienced staff and you will have a dedicated point of contact for your group right from the start. There are a thousand things to plan such as rooming, equipment, lift passes, special diets, medical requirements and transport, let the ski holiday experts take everything off your hands.
A fantastic place for a group ski holiday is Sestriere which is in the heart of the fab Milky Way skiing area, one of the World’s biggest ski circuits. Purpose built and snow sure Sestriere hosted the 2006 Winter Olympics and investment is ongoing. Sestriere is a great choice for beginners because there are wide village nursery slopes and some long gentle blues which are ideal for snow plough experts. The lift system is easy for beginners as well. They will find the links to Sauze and Sansicario a bit of a struggle but there’s plenty to do locally. For keen intermediates and advanced skiers Sestriere has fantastic possibilities. There is over 400kms of great skiing featuring plenty of interesting ski journeys to Sauze, Sansicario, Cesana and eventually to Claviere and Montgenevre. Sestriere is modern, cosmopolitan, and well equipped with a big choice of après ski. It’s very much a leading part of the Italian ski resorts. Nearby Borgata is an old mountain community with some nice traditional buildings but hardly any nightlife, not quite the place for a group of skiers, stick to Sestriere guys which is large, lively, popular and well equipped.
