Sauze d'Oulx is an ideal departure point for the Milky Way, and as such is right in the centre of one of the world's largest skiing areas. There are over 400 kms of pistes of which 90 kms have artificial snowmaking facilities (over 1000 snow cannons). With 88 ski lifts, skiers of all standards have the choice of fast wide pistes or gentler picturesque routes through the fir and larch woods.

Popular with English tourists for many years, Sauze d'Oulx has excellent English-speaking ski and snowboard schools and ski/board hire shops.  Lift pass prices are lower than in many comparable resorts with discounts for under 12's.  Under 9's  and over 75's ski for free. There are also nursery/crèche facilities for the very young.

The original village has retained its old world charm whilst the newer part has all you need for an enjoyable fun-filled holiday. Après-ski can be as lively as you please with pubs, smart cocktail bars and discos. In the many restaurants and pizzerias in the resort you can eat very well at reasonable prices

Advanced skiers will appreciate the easy connection to Sestriere, where you can enjoy the black runs at the top of Mount Motta and Mount Sises as well as the World Cup Kandahar Slalom and Kandahar Barchetta runs. And from Sansicario, you have access to the seemingly endless pistes of the Milky Way, which stretch all the way to Montgenèvre in France. Intermediates have a vast range to explore. Sauze offers an excellent range of skiing possibilities with the three main areas of Clotes, Sportinia and Genevris interlinking by lifts, providing some very interesting fun runs through mainly wooded terrain. From Triplex there is a good choice of runs back to the village, some of them quite challenging. Beginners normally start off at the top of the Sportinia chairlift, from where there are some very enjoyable runs back to the village through the woods. Snowboarding is also very popular in this fun resort, with a good choice of wide pistes, varied terrain and lots of off-piste possibilities as well as a snow park.

For non-skiers or those taking a rest, there’s ice skating, skidoo racing, and pool. By night Sauze comes alive with an incredible choice of bars, many open late.

Eating Out

There are numerous mountain restaurants, some of them more modest than others. Most are concentrated in Sportinia, and the five based in this sunny plateau maintain a high level of service, although they tend to get very busy at lunchtime. On sunnier days, some of the bars hold barbecues.

In the resort all tastes are catered for. There's everything from up market Italian banquets to pub grub and even good value Mexican food. You can even get a burger or an English breakfast with authentic bacon!
