Accommodation

Ski Jumping Hotel ***

Built for the athletes competing in the 2006 Winter Olympics ski jump (the Olympic ski jump is just behind the hotel!), this modern 33 bedroom hotel is perfect for groups. Students are accommodated in large spacious multi-bedded rooms, with teachers in twins. All rooms have a private bathroom, TV and spectacular view through the valley.

The hotel has recently been refurbished to a fantastic standard. Its facilities include a spacious restaurant serving an excellent selection of delicious child-friendly meals, comfortable bar, games room, and a well-equipped conference/meeting room which can also be used for discos and karaoke. This is a superb option for our groups and we highly recommend it.

Location

Situated in the charming hamlet of Pragelato, It is also just 800m from the Pragelato gondola, which whisks you up to the rest of the 400km Milky Way circuit. We recommend taking either the local ski shuttle (that’s stops close to the hotel) or take your coach from the UK up to the centre of Sestriere to begin your skiing there just 15 minutes away.
