Snowboarding in Sestrière

Although Sestrière now has a snowpark, its lack of special facilities for snowboarders such as and a half pipe, surprises many. This is partly because of the resort's international significance and partly because it's high altitude and excellent snow conditions would appear to make it easier to create terrain features like half pipes here and for the resort to be able to fanfare early season openings. Snowboarders are welcome however, and have access to skiing on all slopes. With a large number of chair lifts it's a good resort for getting up the mountains. Several of the ski school's teachers are trained to teach 'boarding.
