Via Lattea (Milky Way) Intermediate Skiing
Via Lattea is an intermediates paradise with a huge variety of long runs. Any of the Via Lattea ski resorts is suitable as a base, and intermediates will enjoy the easy cruising on open and wooded slopes, as well as the chance to ski a variety of resorts in one day.Claviere, Sauze d’Oulx and Sansicario have a number of very pleasant woodland runs which provide good powdery snow as well as shelter when the weather is less favourable. There are few runs that would be too difficult for an intermediate. With the exception of the return run from the Sansicario ski area to Rio Nero and Sauze d’Oulx when conditions are icy (25), you can go virtually anywhere.
Certainly, intermediate skiers will enjoy the pisted runs around Pian Della Rocca in Sauze, and can spend many hours on the long perfect slopes of Sansicario returning via Sestriere Borgata. In good snow conditions, the Monte Banchetta area of Sestriere is unforgettable.
