Golf Club Sestrieres
High-altitude mountain golf on former ski slopes, open, unusual and deeply alpine
At over 2,000 metres above sea level, Sestrieres is one of those clubs whose altitude changes the entire emotional register of the round. Fairways run where winter ski slopes dominate the landscape, and the result is a mountain golf experience that feels open, unusual and physically vivid. The course is not about lush parkland beauty; it is about air, scale, light and the strange pleasure of playing golf in a place usually associated with snow and speed.
Exclusive Experiences

Sestrieres is one of those golf stops that becomes much more legible when connected to the larger alpine geography around it. A panorama stop or gentle drive on the Assietta road turns the round into part of a broader mountain reading: ridgelines, military history, wind, altitude and long open views. This gem is not about monuments but about scale, and it fits perfectly with the exposed, high-country character of the course.

At Sestrieres, the right post-round food ritual is not sophistication for its own sake but alpine honesty: cheese, mountain butter, local cured meats and a glass that suits altitude rather than urban fashion. A proper lunch stop in this style deepens the club experience because it keeps the day within the same environmental register. After playing above 2,000 metres, travellers usually remember simple mountain flavors more vividly than formal dining.

Because Sestrieres is exposed and physically distinctive, a soft evening walk works better than another ambitious activity. Moving gently through the high-altitude landscape toward the small alpine waterlines and meadows around the Chisonetto area helps the day settle without losing its mountain identity. This gem matters because it preserves the altitude mood of the round while letting the nervous system come back down.
