The slopes: The area is noteworthy for the quality and quantity of runs which it offers, for the extremely modern ski-lifts (no lines) and for the programmed artificial snow system.From the very daring Sises ski-lift, to the four-seater chair-lift with an automatic coupling system, which takes skiers to the Banchetta and to the cable-way which goes up to Col Basset, all of the lifts are very efficient. The longest slope runs for 7,3 kms from Fraitève to Pariol. The fastest one is the 3 km long Kandahar Primavera, where the downhill World Cup race took place.

The run which comes down from Sises des Alpettes is technical and rather demanding. The slalom run near the Cit Roc ski-lift, which is shady and covered with powdery snow, is just as steep. The Via Lattea with its 101 ski-lifts (including those in the French territory of Mongenévre) boasts an international level downhill run, the #21. The Rio Nero, which runs from the Fraitève, is a classic among back-country trails. The first part runs down a beaten run and continues on fresh snow through the woods.

Break-points: At the arrival of the Alpetta run there is the homonymous meeting-place which is also open in the evening. Half way down the Kanhadar Primavera slope there is the Chisonette alpine shelter which is besieged by younger people, while the Tana della Volpe situated in the old"Chisonette-Banchetta" cable-way station, delights skiers with its polenta with "bagna caoda" (hot anchovy and garlic savoury).

For a quicker snack there is the Gargotta, patronized by regulars, which is managed by Armando Collino who is also the owner of the gourmet restaurant "Tre Rubinetti" in Sestriere. In the evening, to reach the typical Lou Brachettes shelter, located at the four-seater Banchetta chair-lift's departure, one must take a ski-doo. Dine by candle light and return to town on skis by torch light.
