San Sicario is located centrally in the Milky Way. The slopes are quite as oppossed to it's big neighours (Sestriere and Sauze d'Oulx). The town is not the most charming (except for the old centre) and does not offer many amnenities, but it's more than you would expect for such a small resort, thanks to hosting the Olympic Games in 2006. Don't expect a livelly apres ski or great nightlife. All it has to offer is it's location, the ski-in and ski-out and nearly empty slopes. For some that is more than you could ask for.

The Milky Way is a spectacular ski area stretching across the Italian border, but having stayed in three of the seven main resort bases I know that most of them are located at one end, or the other, of the area making it hard to see it all - you need a good day to get all the way across and back.
Step forward Sansicario, a quiet little purpose built resort I visited which was low rise, well designed, and since the 2006 Winter Olympics has got more going for it - although it's still much quieter than the main centres like Sauze d'Oulx, Sestriere and Montgenevre.
But i didn't mind that, and it was great to get up every morning with this huge ski area on your doorstep, knowing you coul
