Sestriere is one of the places most loved by Italian athletes. In fact, this Piedmontese town boasts one of the most important ski areas in northern Italy: it hosted the alpine skiing trials of the 2006 Olympics. Sestriere was the scene of great cycling feats: Claudio Chiappucci won a legendary stage of the 1992 Tour de France here.
