Anyone stayed at the Villaggio Olimpico.
Are the rooms beds singles pushed together??
Should we hire skis from the hotel or elsewhere??
Any other advice

We only booked B&B as its about 25 euro extra a night for dinner..What will 25 euro get you out and bout in Sestriere..Any place to eat/drink you can recommend

thanks nick

Thanks all for the advice

We are staying at the Villaggio Olimpico soi guess get the cable car and ski down to Sauze on the first day to get our ski legs back
If we were to try a black run what would be the easiest one (Black 21)???.


We will be buying our passes when we arrive ,and will only have about 4 1/2 days skiing so wont get the Montgenevre for free like the 6 day pass.

thanks nick

We are going to Sestriere 28th Feb for 6 days
Can anyone remember some of easier red runs and any of the hardest(steep) on the Milkyway

We are all over 40 and only just started skiing reds last year,last 3 years have all been at Pas de la casa but tackled most of the reds over there

Also could we ski to claviere and back in a day


thanks

We used these on a "family package"

The instructor was happy to start when we wanted and finish when we wanted ,quite often he was with us 5-6 hours .
As 2 of us had skied once before so he would do 1 on 1 with the kids/wife then do bit us in the afternoon.

Someone may know different but all lessons are run by Grandvalira.
So unless you go for one of your 2 options you wont be having any
Not that it makes much differnce but its about 100 eur for 2 hours and then 8 euro extra per person if you can find someone to join you to split the cost

Nice

We arnt sure if to book Halfboard or B&B..B&B would allow us about 25 euros a day for an evening meal..I guess that would be enough ???

thanks
