What Skiers Say About Sauze d'Oulx

Sauze d'Oulx attracts mainly intermediate to advanced skiers who value affordability and access to the wider Via Lattea ski area. Reviewers consistently praise the reasonable prices for food, drink, and lift passes, alongside the friendly atmosphere and quality Italian restaurants. The lift infrastructure is frequently criticised as old and slow, with many noting that connections to neighbouring resorts close easily in high winds. Snow conditions are variable, with lower runs often icy or slushy, though tree-lined runs are appreciated. The town itself is described as charming with good nightlife, though some find it quieter than expected.

The Via Lattea ski area is quite spread out so hard to make the most of, especially given the lifts are mostly fairly old and not very quick. The ski day is quite short and lifts can get closed due to windy conditions, which would not be an issue in other resorts I have been to.

The skiing was good, with a miz of runs that were mostly quiet. The biggest issue was the infrasturucture. I had heard there were some slow lifts, but I did not realise this would be the vast majority. This meant less time on snow. Some lifts in the wider area were better, but not many.

Nice resort with good restaurants but access to the wider ski area is dependant on an old 2 man chairlift that was closed most of the week we were there, the one day we went in it the queues were massive. Also a pain getting to the slopes.

The resort is hilly so any walks were difficult carrying equipment especially, The slopes were fairly quiet and not over crowded but enough people skiing for a good atmosphere, the views are amazing from all over the mountain range ‘milky way’. There was only one magic carpet to beginners and not much else on this part of the mountain range, and was told there was better on a different area of this mountain. plenty of good reds and couple of blacks too.

Ski lifts were fine and frequent. button lifts could prove tricky for lower ability skiers as they go quite steep and high.

some areas were either slushy or icy, but overall nice clear sky, the sun beaming down, and good condition to ski.

Good fun, lift pass also covers the resort on the other side of the mountain. Lifts are efficient and overall not too busy.

Great time

This is my first visit to Sauze. I went with a group of 7 other friends all over 40 and have been skiing on and off for over 20 years. We went mid January and there had been a good dump of snow the week before. The ski pass lets you visit a large number of other ski area all accessed from ski lifts. You can ski from Italy into France and back all in a day - if you’re fast. The reds are steep and fast, the blues are generally quite narrow and a good pace. Blacks runs are steep mogul run and are fantastic. The lifts are quite quick and you can see which are running from the app. We took the Clotes lift every morning and got as high as we could thinking there would be ski schools everywhere but honestly was pretty quiet.

A great resort town that feels homely due to its cobbled old town area and winding streets. Can get noisy in the evenings but no nightclubs so usually quiet by midnight. Great bars and traditional restaurants much cheaper than other resorts. The lifts out of resort need upgrading and especially the 2-chair link to Sestriere which is prone to closures in moderate winds.
Lovely tree lined skiing options

Scenic train travel from Turin Airport to Oulx and short bus journey to Sauze D'Oulx, a fraction of the car hire/taxi price. Hotel Sauze is basic, food was ok, ski and boot rooms, but great location, lifts are 200m. Great pubs for sport and other entertainment, lots of UK tourists and Reasonably priced drinks and food. Skiing and Boarding were excellent on well groomed slopes.

Uphill to lift out of town with big queues in the morning unless you get the bus to Sportinia lift which is well worth the money for the week. Only a 2 person lift out of Sauze side to get towards Sestriere. Weekend queuing was insane. Did enjoy but could do with a infrastructure updoo.

We really enjoyed our ski holiday to Sauze, the snow coverage back to resort was slightly sketchy but great access to the whole via latta ski area, some great advanced runs over in sestriere. Food was amazing and so cheap compared to the French alps! From memory a plate of fresh pasta and a can of soda for two came to €26 on the mountain, at the centre where multiple runs ended and multiple ski lifts went from. Cheap amazing hot chocolates on the mountain too as well as great good value meals in resort in the evenings!

Sauze is a great town with really good access to some great ski areas.
The town itself has a great atmosphere with a good combination of being great for families but also having a vibrant night life.
There’s live music somewhere almost every night and so the apres ski is always popping off.

We were unlucky with the snow but even then the piste runs were good and you could tell how great the off piste would have been if we had the conditions for it.

Lifts were pretty good and got you to his terrain pretty fast and the facilities/pubs and restaurants on there mountain were all really good and reasonably priced for a ski resort!

Excellent number of varied pistes for all levels, great value lift passes.

Nightlife and bars seem quieter than years gone by but there are still good nights to be had. Some great restaurants as well.

Great resort if the links to the wider area are open. High winds can be a regular occurrence. Busy on weekends due to proximity to Italian cities. Good apres ski vibe.

Went this month was good fun Lot of powder available of the runs, on runs I found a lot of ice that made it a bit challenging and some painful falls. A lot of bars available so can drink throughout the day and isn’t too pricy for a beer
