Experience the magic of the Italian Alps with BSSC’s all-inclusive ski vacation to Club Med Pragelato Sestriere, nestled in the heart of the legendary Via Lattea (Milky Way) ski region. Surrounded by snow-covered peaks and charming alpine villages, this luxurious chalet-style resort combines authentic Italian character with world-class skiing and effortless all-inclusive comfort. Located in the picturesque village of Pragelato with true ski-in/ski-out convenience, Club Med offers direct access to one of Europe’s largest and most celebrated ski domains.
This is far more than a ski trip — it’s a complete alpine escape where every detail has been thoughtfully curated for you. From the moment you arrive, Club Med’s renowned all-inclusive experience allows you to relax and fully immerse yourself in the beauty, cuisine, and adventure of the Italian Alps. Your stay includes a six-day lift pass to the expansive Via Lattea ski area, connecting renowned resorts such as Sestriere, Sauze d’Oulx, Sansicario, Claviere, Cesana, and even Montgenèvre in France. Host of multiple events during the 2006 Winter Olympics, the Milky Way offers an incredible variety of terrain, from wide-open cruisers and scenic intermediate runs to steep expert pistes, moguls, and off-piste adventures — all backed by reliable high-altitude snow conditions.
Adding even more value, your package also includes five days of professional ski or snowboard instruction/guiding tailored to your ability level. Whether you’re refining your technique, discovering hidden powder stashes, or cruising endless groomers beneath dramatic alpine scenery, every day on the mountain brings a new adventure.
After skiing, retreat to the warm elegance of Club Med Pragelato Sestriere, where rustic alpine charm meets modern luxury. Relax in the indoor pool or hot tub, recharge in the fitness center, or indulge in the resort spa after an exhilarating day on the slopes. Evenings come alive with curated entertainment, cozy lounges, and unforgettable après-ski moments shared with fellow travelers.
Dining at Club Med is an experience in itself. Enjoy gourmet Italian and international cuisine throughout the day, from hearty alpine breakfasts to elegant multi-course dinners. Multiple restaurants — including a mountainside dining venue perfect for leisurely lunches — showcase the flavors of the region, while the open bar offers premium wines, cocktails, spirits, and non-alcoholic beverages throughout your stay.
This all-inclusive ski vacation delivers exceptional value for a premium European alpine experience. Your package includes deluxe accommodations, all meals and drinks, lift tickets, professional instruction, entertainment, and access to world-class resort amenities — all seamlessly coordinated by BSSC for a completely hassle-free getaway.

Sample Itinerary
This is a general itinerary. Final details will be shared at the pre-departure meeting and through the group WhatsApp closer to departure.
Saturday–Sunday, March 20–21: Depart Boston & Arrive in Italy
Your Italian Alps escape begins Saturday evening at Boston Logan, where the group departs at 10:50 PM for Milan via Zurich. Upon arrival in Milan at approximately 2:15 PM on Sunday, March 21, you’ll meet your BSSC trip leaders, clear customs, gather at baggage claim, and board a private coach for the scenic transfer to Club Med Pragelato Sestriere.
The ride to the resort is approximately 3 hours, winding toward the high alpine beauty of Piedmont and the famous Via Lattea ski region. After arrival, there should be time to settle in and rent skis or boards if needed. That evening, enjoy a welcome reception, your first group dinner at the resort, and the chance to make plans for the week ahead. Then relax into the Club Med experience and enjoy the resort’s many all-inclusive amenities.
Monday–Friday, March 22–26: Ski, Explore & Savor the Milky Way
Each day begins with a generous breakfast before stepping out to meet your instructor or guide. From Monday through Friday, guests are placed into small, same-level groups for professional instruction, guided mountain exploration, or insider access to the best terrain across the Via Lattea.
Whether you want to fine-tune your turns, discover hidden powder stashes, tackle off-piste descents, or simply follow a guide to the best snow of the day, the experience is designed to elevate your week on the mountain. You may even ski across the border into France, with your instructor or guide leading the way out and back.
Lunch becomes part of the adventure. Enjoy the Club Med mountain hut on the slopes or stop at one of the many alpine restaurants scattered throughout the Milky Way. However you choose to spend midday, lunch in Europe is more than a break — it is part of the experience. After skiing, head into Sestriere for lively après before returning to the resort.
Back at Club Med, the indulgence continues. Take a few laps in the indoor pool, soothe tired legs in the hot tub, or treat yourself to spa services, massages, sauna, and steam for an additional fee. Then enjoy snacks, music, and the full open bar before settling into another evening of gourmet dining, fine wines, nightly entertainment, and classic Club Med hospitality.
Saturday, March 27: Final Day on the Slopes
Your final ski day is yours to enjoy at your own pace. Return to the favorite runs and hidden corners your guide introduced earlier in the week, explore new terrain, or simply savor one more day in one of Europe’s largest and most exciting ski domains.
That evening, gather for a final dinner and one last night of Club Med entertainment, celebration, and relaxation before the journey home.
Sunday, March 28: Return Home
After breakfast, the group will depart the resort at approximately 9:00 AM for Milan Airport and the return flight to Boston. You’ll head home after one incredible all-inclusive Italian ski vacation, with an estimated arrival back in Boston at 7:55 PM.
