Great for keen skiers who want to make the most of a vast ski area, Sagnalonga is located at high altitude on a plateau in the heart of the Milky Way offering ski-in ski-out possibilities for a value price. The hotel is located right on the piste and has a chairlift outside. Après-ski is mainly hotel-based, although you can pay for a skidoo ride down to Claviere after dark.

The experience
Sagnalonga Après Ski
A small mountainside bar is usually open until early evening.
Activities
Evening entertainment is centred around the hotel. Your representative will advise you of the excursions available, such as a trip to an Italian football match at the San Siro in Milan. A skidoo (extra charge) is required to return to the hotel after the event.
Eating out in Sagnalonga
For a special meal out, a skidoo can be arranged for an extra charge to take you to Claviere after the pistes are closed. Le Grand Bouc in Claviere is good a choice for couples and families alike.
Transfer time
1hr 45mins from Turin
The slopes
Beginners
Some slopes are quite steep for the complete beginner but there are some very steady runs through the woodland which will help your confidence improve.
Intermediates
A paradise which offers a new adventure everyday, whichever resort you choose. The slopes offer wonderful free-flowing terrain allowing you to coast down the pistes whilst you gain confidence for more difficult runs.
Advanced
There are difficult blacks in Fraiteve and Moncrons and the off-piste is rarely skied out; Sestriere is best.
Snowboarding
A good variety of terrain is available, with off-piste in Sestriere to delight more experienced boarders. The area still retains a lot of drag and button lifts
