The way in

Colle di Sestriere (SP23, Colle di Sestriere pass)

Winter rules
2,035 m pass on the road that continues past Pragelato up to Sestriere; a chains-or-winter-tyres obligation has been signed on this road in past winters (confirmed for 1 Nov–30 Apr 2022/23). The road was reclassified from state (SS23) to provincial (SP23) management, so check current Città Metropolitana di Torino winter ordinances rather than ANAS before travelling. ✓ checked · en.wikipedia.org · youdriver.com
Notes
Usual van route from Turin/Pinerolo is up the Val Chisone via Perosa Argentina, Fenestrelle and Pragelato before climbing to the Colle di Sestriere. A local guide (2026) recommends checking conditions and required winter equipment before the climb and arriving early on busy weekends. being checked

Pinerolo (gateway town, hospital)

Winter rules
Piedmont-wide ordinance (renewed yearly) requires winter tyres or chains on board on many state roads in the region from 15 November to 15 April; check the current Anas/road-authority list for the specific stretch used, since some former state roads near Pragelato (e.g. the Colle di Sestriere road) have since been reclassified as provincial. ✓ checked · lasesia.vercelli.it
Notes
Pinerolo is the last sizeable town before the Val Chisone climb to Pragelato/Sestriere and is home to the nearest hospital with an emergency department (Ospedale E. Agnelli). ✓ checked · en.wikipedia.org
