Sestriere It- 2006 Olympic Games Venue

Sestriere is an historical destination and a sure landmark: chosen, for this reason, as the backdrop to many great sporting events, such as the 1997 Ski World Championships and the next Winter Olympic Games in 2006
The village of Sestriere has a very recent history in fact it was built from scratch in 1934 on the old territory of Champlas du Col, Sauze di Cesana and Borgata Sestriere, which used to be part of the neighbouring Pragelato
