Keeping the hubby happy 😃 🍷

Our hotel boasts the largest choice of wine in the Susa Valley, all held in the hotel's impressive wine cellar.

La Vineria del Colle is a distinguished restaurant located within the Grand Hotel Sestriere. Renowned for its extensive wine cellar, it boasts a selection of approximately 1,500 labels 🤩 making it a sought-after destination for wine enthusiasts. 

The restaurant specializes in traditional Piedmontese cuisine, offering dishes such as fonduta, gorgonzola, and tartare, all served in an elegant and welcoming atmosphere. 

Operating daily from 7:30 PM, La Vineria del Colle provides an intimate dining experience for guests.  and a lovely alternative to the great buffet dinner.

We loved it and would definitely return if we’d gone earlier in the week but we are heading back to the UK 🇬🇧

🍽️ You can indulge in authentic Piedmontese and Italian cuisine at the hotel’s restaurant. The Central Restaurant serves a buffet with regional specialties, and “La Vineria del Colle” offers an à la carte menu complemented by an extensive wine selection of over 1,500 labels.

⛷️ After a day on the slopes, the hotel’s wellness centre provides a sanctuary for relaxation. 💦 Facilities include hydromassage tubs, bio-sauna, Finnish sauna, steam bath, and a relaxation area with herbal teas. Unique wine therapy treatments are also available, offering a distinctive spa experience.

🔥 The Hotel features cozy lounges with open fireplaces, a bar with panoramic mountain views, and complimentary tea, cake and biscuits served daily to refuel after a day ok the mountain 🏔️

So I am lucky enough to be spending a week and seeing in the new year in a winter wonderland in Italy, with my 2 faves.

Nestled in the Italian Alps, Sestriere is a destination for winter sports lovers & nature enthusiasts alike. As one of Italy's most famous ski resorts, Sestriere offers not only exceptional skiing & snowboarding but also stunning landscapes & an authentic alpine experience.

Skiing & Snowboarding paradise. Located in the Via Lattea (Milky Way) ski area, Sestriere boasts over 400 kilometers of ski slopes, making it a top choice for skiers of all levels. Whether you’re a beginner looking for gentle slopes or an expert seeking thrilling challenges, there’s something for everyone. The area’s high-altitude location guarantees excellent snow conditions throughout the winter season.
We have been very lucky as lots of snow dumped on the days leading up to Christmas & now it is glorious sunshine.

Off the Slopes, Sestriere offers a range of activities for all types of travellers. The charming alpine village is perfect for strolling, with quaint shops & cafes serving up delicious Italian treats. After a day on the slopes, you can unwind at a local spa or enjoy a hearty meal at one of the region’s top restaurants, serving everything from traditional Piedmontese dishes to classic Italian pasta.

There really is something for everyone. Sestriere is great for families, couples & solo travellers. Families can enjoy the ski school & kid-friendly activities, while couples can indulge in romantic dinners with panoramic views. The resort has a lively après-ski scene, with bars & events that make it an excellent spot for socializing after the day's adventures.

Whether you’re here for the slopes or simply to relax in a stunning alpine setting, Sestriere offers an unforgettable experience in the heart of the Italian Alps.

I will share more pics as I settle into my week.

🇫🇮 Finland 🇫🇮 the home of none other than Father Christmas himself.

This destination is not just for those with young children though. This stunning country has so much to offer everyone over the winter season.

If you've seen lots of amazing pictures from friends and family as they have seen Father Christmas or headed off into the snowy tundra then now is the perfect time to book for Finland (be it a Santa trip or otherwise). Flights and accommodation get booked up well in advance. Booking now gives you the very best choice in terms of flights and accommodation.

Get in touch and I’ll put you in touch with one of my awesome teamies who specialise in this area, to discuss your visit to this glorious snowy wonderland.
