Monte Sises, Mountain summit in Sestriere, Piedmont, Italy

Monte Sises is a 2,658 m summit on the ridge rising from the Col de Sestriere towards the Rognosa di Sestriere, passing Monte Alpette (2,302 m) and Monte Querellet (2,726 m). On the top stands a small dodecagonal concrete building, the Belvedere, visible from Sestriere and set 50 m above the former arrival station of the old Sestriere-Sises cable car, an orange rationalist building.

In 1931 the engineer Vittorio Bonadè Bottino designed the small dodecagonal concrete building on the summit, known as the Belvedere and visible from Sestriere. It stands 50 metres above the orange rationalist arrival station of the old Sestriere-Sises cable car, whose summit terminus served the peak until the early 21st century. A private buyer acquired the building from Sestrieres SPA in 2016 and restored it, with a project by the Turin architect Paolo Luigi Grassi.

The summit building, known as the Belvedere, was built in 1931 to a design by engineer Vittorio Bonadè Bottino; a private owner bought it from Sestrieres SPA in 2016 and restored it under architect Paolo Luigi Grassi. It has no mains electricity: water is collected from the roof into a tank, two solar panels keep the interior just above zero, and a wood stove raises it to 15–20 °C after a few hours.

The summit can be reached on foot along the ridge from Colle del Sestriere, passing Monte Alpette (2,302 m) and Monte Querellet (2,726 m). The Belvedere building has no electrical supply; water is collected from the roof into a tank, and two solar panels keep the interior just above zero.
