Shackleton Chalet is an aparthotel in Sestriere, on Via Lattea, just steps from the Colle di Sestriere and with direct access to the ski slopes. The property caters mainly to those looking for a practical base for winter holidays, but also to families and small groups thanks to spacious apartments with their own kitchen.
Accommodations range from the 17 sqm Superior Double Room to the 49 sqm Deluxe Apartment, able to host up to six people across multiple bedrooms with a sofa bed in the living room. All units offer a balcony or terrace, mountain or garden views, private bathroom with courtesy set and flat-screen TV; the apartments also add a fully equipped kitchen and marble flooring.
Among the services available on site are bicycle rental, ski storage and a garden with a panoramic terrace, along with free private parking and WiFi at no extra cost. The location allows guests to reach several restaurants in the village on foot, while Cesana San Sicario and the Via Lattea ski area are easily reached by car, making Shackleton Chalet a convenient base for skiing and mountain activities in every season.
Shackleton Chalet offers four types of accommodation, from the Superior Double Room to spacious apartments designed for families and groups.

What makes the difference is the size and internal layout: starting from the 17 sqm entry-level room, designed for two people, up to the 49 sqm Deluxe Apartment, arranged over two bedrooms and a living room with a sofa bed, able to accommodate up to six guests. The Standard and Superior apartments, at 30 and 34 sqm, add their own kitchen and a separate living area, ideal for those who want more independence during their mountain stay.

Shackleton Chalet is located on Via Cesana, in the heart of Sestriere, just steps from the village centre and only 850 metres from the Colle di Sestriere. The area is typical of alpine ski resorts, with wood and stone chalets surrounded by the peaks of the Via Lattea ski area, including Monte Fraiteve, which reaches nearly 2,702 metres.
The village can be comfortably explored on foot: the restaurant I Cavalieri is just 100 metres away, as is Last Tango, while Trattoria La Rognosa is 200 metres away. The Oulx-Cesana-Claviere-Sestriere railway station is about 9 km away, a reference point for those arriving by train, while Cesana San Sicario is 11 km away and Cuneo Levaldigi Airport is 104 km away, also reachable via the property’s paid airport shuttle service.
In winter, the main draw is direct access to the ski slopes, which makes Sestriere one of the most popular destinations in the Via Lattea for alpine and cross-country skiing. In the warmer months, the same area turns into an open-air natural park: hiking and mountain biking trails wind through the woods of Champlas-Colle Sestriere, about 6 km away, while nature lovers can venture as far as Parco del Queyras, just under 12 km across the border. There is also no shortage of horse riding, fishing and a golf course within 3 km for those seeking alternatives to mountain sports.
