Overview of Sauze d’Oulx

The Sauze d’Oulx ski area is the gateway to the Via Lattea / Milky Way. Sauze previously had a reputation as a proper party town. There’s still lots of après ski fun to be had & late nights bars to be found, but it’s toned down the wild vibes in recent years. Some of the old favourites have closed, but plenty of new bars and restaurants have opened that are fast becoming Sauze d’Oulx institutions.

And more great news if you’re planning a Sauze d’Oulx ski trip: prices are still reasonable. A holiday to Sauze d’Oulx offers access to one of Europe’s biggest ski areas, at a decent price, with only a one-hour transfer from Turin Airport. What’s more, the Via Lattea is made up of five, connected areas – Sauze d’Oulx, Sestriere, San Sicario, Claviere and all the way into the French resort of Montgenèvre – with around 400km of piste, and the highest lift taking you to 2800m. Sauze d’Oulx, itself, is an area of mainly red runs, so most suited to people who’ve skied at least once or twice before. Expect gorgeous tree-lined skiing, sun-kissed pistes and an incredibly hospitable welcome.

The town of Sauze d’Oulx sits at 1509m and has bags of old Italian charm. This is not one of your ugly, purpose-built resorts. It’s a historic Italian town with winding, cobbled streets, no through traffic allowed & enough traditional pizza and pasta restaurants that even the fussiest eater will find something they love.
