Itinerary
Welcome to Sestriere
Check-in: our adventure begins... on the ski slopes!
Round trip flights are not included in the package, so you can choose from where and when you want to fly. This is to give you maximum freedom of choice! To reach Sestriere, you will first need to fly into Turin.
Getting to Sestriere by public transport is very simple:
By bus: A direct bus service runs between Turin and Sestriere during the ski season. Buses depart from the Turin Bus Terminal at Corso Vittorio Emanuele II, with the journey taking around 2 hours. It’s recommended to check the timetable and book tickets in advance, especially on weekends or during peak season.
By train and bus: If you prefer to travel by train, you can take a regional train from Turin Porta Nuova or Porta Susa to Oulx, a town in the Susa Valley. From Oulx, a bus will take you to Sestriere. The train journey is about 1 hour, and the bus ride from Oulx to Sestriere takes approximately 45 minutes.
The meeting point will be at the hotel, and the trip officially begins at 6:00 PM. However, those arriving early in the morning can immediately enjoy a day of skiing on the slopes alongside their new adventure companions. The coordinator will provide the exact meeting details a few days prior to departure.
Included: Overnight stay
Mony pot: tourist tax if applicable
Not included: meals and drinks
The Vialattea ski area
Adrenaline and relaxation in the Alps
Welcome to Sestriere, one of the top ski destinations in the Alps and part of the legendary Vialattea ski area! Get ready to hit the slopes because today is going to be an unforgettable day! Our adventure begins across 400 km of slopes – a true paradise for every type of skier.
Beginners, don’t worry: there are wide, well-groomed blue slopes to help you ease into the snow.
For those feeling more confident, try the red slopes that wind between the mountains, offering breathtaking views.
And for the advanced skiers, challenge yourself on the black slopes, like the famous Colle descent, which has hosted World Cup races and the 2006 Turin Olympic Games.
The vast Vialattea ski area connects places like Sauze d'Oulx, Sansicario, and Claviere, all accessible via modern lifts and well-groomed slopes. This gives you the freedom to explore different routes throughout the day. For those into snowboarding or freestyle, Sestriere also boasts a super fun snowpark where you can test your skills!
After a few hours of skiing, we’ll take a break in one of the cozy mountain huts on the slopes. Enjoy a coffee or hot chocolate while soaking in the spectacular mountain views, or indulge in some typical Piedmontese dishes, like polenta or gnocchi al formaggio.
In the evening, the town of Sestriere awaits. Although small, it’s lively! After a day on the slopes, we can unwind by strolling through the town center, exploring local shops, or enjoying an aperitivo at a bar in perfect Italian style.
And this is just the first day of many fantastic adventures in Sestriere: skiing, delicious food, and plenty of adrenaline await!
Included: Overnight stay
Money pot: ski pass, tourist tax if applicable
Not included: meals and drinks
Skiing and good food at high altitude: the perfect mix!
A day to remember!
Ready for another day of adventure? Today we’re skiing, but with a delicious twist! We’ll start with a few runs on the Vialattea, which we know well by now, and aim for something more challenging, like the Kandahar Banchetta slope or the exhilarating runs connecting Sestriere to Sauze d'Oulx. Perfect snow, breathtaking views, and tons of fun await!
After the morning’s adrenaline rush, it’s time to answer the call of food! Mid-morning, we’ll stop at a mountain refuge to recharge. The menu? Impossible to resist a hearty portion of polenta concia with cheese and sausage, or the classic gnocchi alla toma, made with mouth-watering local toma cheese.
After lunch, we’ll take some time to relax: sunbathing, a cup of mulled wine or hot chocolate in hand, and the Alps as our stunning backdrop. Don’t forget to snap some photos for Instagram! In the afternoon, we can decide whether to continue exploring the slopes of Sansicario or Claviere, or simply unwind a bit longer with a sweet snack at another refuge. Perhaps a slice of hazelnut cake or a creamy chocolate dessert? We’ve definitely earned this break!
The day wraps up in style with a typical dinner at one of Sestriere's restaurants. We can’t leave without trying bagna cauda or braised beef in Barolo. And to top it off, dessert: indulge in cuneesi with rum or a slice of bonet for the perfect finish. Top-notch food, amazing skiing, and fantastic company—Sestriere is truly spoiling us!

Money pot: ski pass, tourist tax if applicable

Skiing, après-ski and an epic evening!
Last day on the slopes of Sestriere
We've reached the last day on the slopes of Sestriere, but that doesn’t mean we’re slowing down! Today, we ski with even more energy, knowing an epic finale awaits. We set out early to make the most of our final hours in the snow, hitting the runs we’ve loved the most over the past few days. From the panoramic descents of Sauze d'Oulx to the more technical slopes in Sestriere, we’re ready for it all. For the daring, a few laps in the snowpark, and of course, another exhilarating descent on the legendary Kandahar Banchetta.
After an adrenaline-packed morning, it’s time to relax... après-ski mode: on! We head to La Gargotte, the perfect spot for après-ski in Sestriere. With drinks, good music, and a super chill vibe, we kick back and enjoy a well-earned break. The sun is setting, but our energy is still high—it’s the perfect time to share some laughs with friends and meet new people while the cocktails flow and the music becomes more lively.
But the fun doesn’t stop there! After the après-ski, we get ready for an unforgettable evening. For our final night, Tabata awaits us—one of the most famous clubs in the area. Here, the real party begins: music, lights, and an incredible atmosphere. We dance until late into the night, toasting to the fantastic days we’ve spent together, and we soak in every last moment of this amazing adventure.
Skiing, après-ski, and partying: this is the perfect way to say goodbye to Sestriere!

About Italy
About WeRoad
Round-trip flights are not included in any of our trips because we like to give you autonomy and flexibility: you can choose the airline you want to fly with, the departure airport that suits you best, and how many and which stops you want to make.
Since flights are not included, you also have more flexibility with your travel dates: if possible, you can arrive at your destination a few days earlier or return home a bit later – or even continue independently to a nearby destination!
This is the question of all questions, and here’s the answer, broken down into points!
The Money Pot is a common fund collected in local currency from all tour participants and managed by your Travel Coordinator.
It is used to streamline paymentsfor extra activities, goods and services that the whole group decides to do and to guarantee flexibility in choosing activities and excursions at the destination in line with the mood of the group.
It is typically collected on the first day of the trip in local currency, although at times, the Travel Coordinator may ask for it to be paid before departure.
You’ll find the amount of the money pot on the website under the section ‘What’s included in the money pot’ – how do you get there? Look for ‘What’s included’, scroll down to ‘Money pot? Click here’, and you’ll find the details.
The amount varies depending on the destination chosen.
It is used exclusively for group expenses that ALL participants decide to take part in.
It is estimated based on the experiences of other groups but can vary depending on the needs of the group itself. As such, the Travel Coordinator may need to increase the amount during the trip.
If not all of the money pot is used, the difference will be returned to all participants at the end of the trip in equal amounts.
The Money Pot also covers the Travel Coordinator’s share of the activities included in the money pot, except for those activities that are free for the Travel Coordinator.
If you pay in advance part of the money pot before the trip for certain non-refundable optional activities, unfortunately, the amount cannot be refunded in case of trip cancellation.
We offer several payment methods to fit every need:
1. Credit or prepaid card (Visa, Mastercard, American Express);
2. Instalment payment with Scalapay up to €4,999 (only available with the “Full trip payment” option – not available with the “Deposit and balance” option; pay in 3 instalments up to €1,200 or in 4 instalments over €1,200);
3. PayPal (for selected destinations);
4. Revolut Pay to pay even faster straight from your Revolut account;
5. Welfare credit – BEFORE BOOKING, reach out to us at [email protected].
If you choose the deposit and balance option, you’ll also be able to pay the balance via bank transfer from your Personal Area.
Anyone who books a WeRoad trip has the option to cancel or modify the trip – including both the dates and the destination – free of charge up to 31 days before departure. In case of cancellation, you will receive a 100% refund of the WeRoad trip price. (Deposits will be refunded in the form of a gift card valid for 365 days from issue date.) If you make a change, a price adjustment will be applied to the new trip chosen – meaning, if the new trip is cheaper, we will refund the difference; if it’s more expensive, you will need to pay the difference.
If you’ve purchased the Flexible Cancellation Option (which you can add in the first step of the booking process), you can request a cancellation or trip change until 8 days before departure. In case of cancellation, you’ll receive a 100% refund of the WeRoad trip price, minus the cost of the Flexible Cancellation option. Deposits will be refunded in the form of a gift card valid for 365 days from issue date.
How to request a cancellation or change to your trip? Send us an email at [email protected] or a WhatsApp on +447716573700. Please share the booking reference for the trip you want to cancel or change, and, in case of a change, the new trip you would like to join.
In general, we always choose local accommodations, avoiding large hotel chains, because we love to experience the culture of the place and, whenever possible, contribute to the local economy. Typically, our accommodations are hotels, apartments, guesthouses, and hostels run by local entrepreneurs, with the same standard maintained across all trips in the same destination.
For our Collection trips, which are our premium category, the accommodations are always 4 or 5-star or carefully selected boutique hotels.
The list of accommodations for your trip will be shared with you by your Travel Coordinator between 5 and 3 days before departure, along with other useful details for your adventure!
If you're wondering why WeRoad trips have a money pot, we’re assuming you already know what it is. If not, or if you have any doubts, we invite you to read all the information here!
Let’s quickly recap: The Money Pot is a common fund collected in local currency from all tour participants and managed by your Travel Coordinator. It’s used to speed up payments for extra activities, goods and services that the whole group decides to do and to guarantee flexibility in choosing activities and excursions at the destination in line with the mood of the group.
But let’s get to the point: why the money pot? First of all: it gives us a lot of flexibility. In all WeRoad trips you will have a bunch of Must See/Must Do activities already included - these are experiences, places or activities that simply cannot be missed! Any extra activities is decided by the group, why? Because each group is unique and may have particular wants or desires and the Money Pot allows each group to customise their trip to make it perfect for their requirements!
It also helps us speed up payments – imagine being in the subway in New York City, one by one purchasing the ticket...a nightmare right? Thanks to the Money Pot, the Travel Coordinator can simply purchase the tickets for everyone making the entire processes smoother! Any leftover money will be returned at the end of the trip and split equally amongst all participants.
In some destinations, buying goods or services on site is more economical as you are able to negotiate the price - places like Morocco, or South East Asia, bargaining is part of the culture. As such, our Travel Coordinators will be able to secure the best deal for all participants.

Even if we don't know the flights of all WeRoaders, there are several ways to find out which flights your travel companions have purchased.
1. Each WeRoader has the ability to communicate their flight details after booking within their personal area so that other travel companions can see the details anonymously. Enter your booking and you will find this section:
[Screenshot]
2. If you want to find out before booking, instead, you can contact us and we will support you in your search or you can ask your travel companions for direct information by joining our Facebook group 'WeRoad... let's get to know each other before leaving! (official)' – (here is the extended link: https://www.facebook.com/groups/weroadit) look for a post associated with your trip, or ask the group administrators for help in getting in touch with your future adventure companions!
If the coordinator has already been assigned to the trip you are interested in, you can easily find his/her presentation post in the group through the site: in the shift list click on 'Ask the coordinator', or in the trip tab, in the coordinator section, click on 'Ask [coordinator name] about this shift in our Facebook group'. For both cases, see the screenshots below!

In all our groups, the Travel Coordinator and participants speak English – knowing how to speak and understand English is therefore a fundamental requirement to participate in our trips.
On average the groups are made up of 6-15 people, with a minimum of 3/4 participants and a maximum of 15.
All our travellers are in theirs 20s, 30s and 40s. If you're very curious to know the age range of the group for a tour you're interested in, you can see this by finding the trip on our website, and clicking the down arrow to see the ages & genders of participants. You'll need to have created a WeRoad account with us to do this.
Any issues finding this info just give our team in the office a call, we're always happy to help!
Regarding the male-female ratio, this is not guaranteed and varies trip by trip.
Yes! If you're curious, you can take a sneak peek at the group before booking – although, in our opinion, that kind of spoils the surprise! You’ll find the info in the ‘Group’ section for each trip on the departures page, showing how many WeRoaders have already booked. Click the little arrow and you’ll even see their gender and ages – but hey, that’s exclusive info, so we’ll ask you to log in or sign up to see that!
Yes, in all our trips you will share a room with other same-sex travellers, and the bathroom will either be private or shared only with fellow participants of the trip. The rooms we select can be doubles, triples, quadruples, or multi-bed (up to 8 people in exceptional cases), depending on the destination and availability.
There are never dorms with people outside the WeRoad group, except in certain cases for local experiences, which are specifically mentioned in the itinerary or communicated before booking. These typically involve specific nights in unique accommodations like tents, homestays, or camping, offering a more adventurous travel experience in exchange for some comfort.
During the booking process, you can also choose to opt for a mixed room: in this case, if needed, only those who have agreed to this option may share a room with travellers of a different sex. If you are booking for multiple people together and select this option, the room will not be exclusive to your group but may be shared with other travellers in the group.
The WeRoad Travel Coordinator is an experienced and skilled traveller and will be the perfect companion for your trip. They will be available for any eventuality and will manage all the logistical aspects of the itinerary (transports, timings, accommodations, meeting points, etc.), so you can enjoy the trip without any worries!
You will have the chance to get to know them when the WhatsApp group is created approximately 2 weeks before departure - this will be the moment to ask any pre-departure questions and get to know the rest of the group! If the trip you are interested in already has a Travel Coordinator assigned, you can contact them before booking – their details will be specified in the schedule or on the trip page, or you can search for their name here. After booking, you will find their contact details in your Personal Area, under ‘Bookings and Trips’ > ‘Your Upcoming Trips’ > ‘Trip Details’.
When you set off on a WeRoad trip, you’re officially a WeRoader – and as we often say, 'Once a WeRoader, always a WeRoader'. This means that once you’re part of the community, a little piece of WeRoad will always stay with you, even if you no longer travel with us.
But you’re not just a WeRoader during your trips, far from it! The community is alive and active all year round: you can stay in touch by following and interacting on our social media channels, like the Facebook group or the Instagram profile. We can also meet up for a dinner or a trek together at one of the events organised by our coordinators around the world!
