A perfect location
We highly recommend Sansicario for school groups because of its perfect location in the centre of the Milky Way ski area. The nursery slopes near the village were built with first-timers in mind, while the blue and red pistes further up the mountain allow for gradual progressions as students develop over the week.
For intermediates and advanced skiers, the connection to neighbouring resorts opens up a wealth of options. Groups can explore the extensive World Cup runs of Sestriere, the forested trails of Sauze d’Oulx, or even venture across the French border into Montgenèvre for an international skiing adventure.
Avoid the crowds
The resorts in France and Italy are always popular choices for travellers from the UK and Europe due to the ease of access. That often leads to longer lift queues and busier slopes which get increasingly cut up towards the end of the day. However, Sansicario tends to be less crowded, which can be a great advantage when you have a large group of pupils.
Plenty to enjoy
With a huge range of slopes in Sansicario and endless possibilities across the rest of Milky Way resorts, there’s so much for your group to try. Not to mention the local boardercross and snow parks for your skiers to put their skills to the test (and catch some sweet air time!).
Keep your group entertained
As a purpose-built, modern resort, Sansicario caters well for school groups. We have several accommodation options, each allowing easy transfers to the slopes (including ski-in, ski-out).
The resort village is small and self-contained, making it easy to manage your group in the evenings. Speaking of which, you could head to the snowpark for a spot of tobogganing or tubing, catch a film, or visit an authentic mountain restaurant for an Italian pizza night (which usually goes down as the best night of the trip!).
