Late flight into Turin and staying in Sestriere: what are your options?
I land at Turin at 22:30 and I'm staying in Sestriere. What should I do?
Not your flight? Plan your own Turin arrival.
Plan your own →Sestriere is about 100 km from Turin Airport, around 1 hour 40 minutes by car, climbing to over 2,000 metres at the end.
Public transport needs a bus into Turin, a train to Oulx and a mountain bus, and the last buses leave in the early evening. Some rental desks stay open until 23:00, others close much earlier at weekends.

Saturday in December, landing 22:30, 2 people with ski bags, car not booked yet

- Pick up from 08:00 (next day) and drive in daylight.

Worth knowing
▲ On many mountain roads in Piedmont, winter tyres or snow chains on board are compulsory from 15 November to 15 April (from 15 October in the Aosta Valley). Most Italian rental cars have all-season tyres; ask the desk about chains.
▲ The terminal closes after the last flight and you can't wait inside overnight.
Other ways to do it
Not possible at this time
- Collect the car tonight and drive: Sixt is the last rental desk to close, at 23:00. Locauto / Enterprise hands over out of hours, but only until about 21:00; you'd be out at about 23:15. If you've already booked, call your rental company before you fly to move the pick-up to the morning.
- Bus and train: To catch the last connection to Italian Alps you need to be out of arrivals by 17:00; you're out at about 23:15. A transfer or a hotel near the airport are the usual fallbacks.

Leaving the airport
- Terminal
- Opens around 04:00. Closes after the last flight.
- Into the city
- The Arriva airport bus runs to Porta Susa and Porta Nuova stations every 15–30 minutes (45–50 minutes, €7.50). Flibco runs to the city centre every 30 minutes until midnight.
- Via Lattea and Bardonecchia
- No direct buses from the airport to the resorts. Take the airport bus to Turin, a train to Oulx or Bardonecchia, then a local bus up to Sauze d'Oulx or Sestriere. Allow 3–4 hours; the last mountain buses leave in the early evening.
- Aosta Valley
- For Cervinia and Courmayeur, take the airport bus to Turin and a coach or train towards the Aosta Valley. Daytime only.
