Sestriere - Italian ski resort
Originally, Sestriere was a sheepherding community; in the 1930s it was developed into a ski resort by one of Fiat bosses and is used as such until today. Moreover, in 2006 during the Winter Olympic Games in Turin, Sestriere hosted plenty of events. That is largely due to its location at snow-secure 2000 meters. What is really amazing is the type of architecture you can encounter there - it is quite unusual for these altitudes.
