The Italian-French ski region of Vialattea is calling all spring skiers with the promise of an exceptional Easter on the slopes. Thanks to recent heavy snowfall, the resort boasts some of the deepest snow coverage in the Alps. Combined with the region’s high altitude terrain and sophisticated snowmaking systems, prepare for an extended season of incredible conditions that extend through Easter and right to the season’s close on April 7th.
Vialattea’s unique advantage lies in its elevated ski area. A full 70% of the massive 400km of skiable terrain sits above 2,000m, guaranteeing reliable snow coverage even as the spring sunshine intensifies. After recent snowstorms, skiers can expect approximately 160cm of snow across the slopes.
To bolster this natural advantage, the resort invested heavily in upgrades for the 2023/24 season. Vialattea now offers enhanced snowmaking systems with over 100 new snow generators, solidifying its ability to deliver ideal conditions from start to finish.
Easter Events & the Golden Egg
This Easter also marks the return of the iconic Uovo d’Oro (Golden Egg), a lively end-of-season race organized by the Sporting Club Sestrieres. This 41st edition promises fierce competition as Italian and international ski clubs descend upon Sestriere, creating a buzzing, celebratory atmosphere as the season draws to a close.
Vialattea’s sprawling terrain offers a fantastic choice for everyone. Gentle slopes cater to beginners, while intermediate skiers will thrive on the multitude of red runs. Expert skiers with a competitive spirit can trace the paths of Olympic champions on Vialattea’s renowned challenging pistes. Families are well catered for too. Kids will love the baby fun parks in Sansicario and Sauze d’Oulx, along with the option of quality ski lessons from experienced instructors.
Vialattea’s appeal lies not only in its slopes but also in its resorts. From the quaint villages of Claviere and Sansicario to the lively Sauze d’Oulx or the ski-in/ski-out convenience of Sestriere. After a thrilling day on the snow, savour the flavours of the region in cosy mountain restaurants or discover a variety of exciting off-slope activities.
Sustainable Travel to the Slopes
For those prioritizing sustainable travel, Vialattea’s partnership with Trenitalia is a fantastic option. Travellers arriving by train receive ski pass discounts. Plus, the new ‘Vialattea Link‘ system provides a single integrated ticket for rail travel and the connecting bus to your chosen resort, making getting to Vialattea a breeze.
