SESTRIERE
THE LOCATION OF THE FESTIVAL
Sestriere is a 2035 meters high town in Piemonte, just a few kilometers far from the frontier with France.
It’s an important destination for international tourism, because of its mountains and its territory: it offers long ski slopes, an indoor swimming pool, a golf field and the possibility to practise sportfishing, trekking, climbing, mountain bike or simply relaxing in the sun. Both in winter and in summer, Sestriere hosts many different events, mainly dedicated to sport, culture, music and motors.
