Sauze d’Oulx sits at the northern end of the Milky Way (the Via Lattea in Italian), a huge linked ski area famed for the quality and quantity of its intermediate terrain.

Fears over snow reliability have been alleviated in recent years and now 60% of the slopes are equipped with snow machines and more is being invested each year.

Its party reputation of old has diminished somewhat but the resort is certainly buzzing, especially during the big holiday weeks. Food and drink are a major part of the holiday experience and the Milky Way boasts more than 30 on slope restaurants and bars – including some great rustic huts.

Keen skiers will want to reach Montgenèvre over the French border at the far end of the linked area. Ask your Ski Club Rep for more information about the best way to get there – they’ll be in resort this season between January and April.

For the latest conditions updates and to meet up with other skiers in resort make sure to use the Sauze d’Oulx group on the Ski Club App. We also have our Ski Club’s Facebook Page for the resort.

Pros and cons

Huge area for intermediate cruising
Lots of tree-lined slopes for bad weather
Fun resort with good après and bars
Super quick transfer from Turin

Getting to the far end of the Milky Way can take a while
One of the drier corners of the Alps, but snowmaking much improved
Little investment in new lifts since the 2006 Winter Olympics
Limited for experts and beginner facilities not ideal

On the Slopes

Most pistes are suited to intermediate skiers, who have an almost limitless choice of terrain across the ski area – which includes Sestriere, Sansicario, Claviere, Cesana_Torinese and Montgenèvre. This is also a great resort for bad weather as a large proportion of the slopes are within the trees but crucially in this relatively dry corner of the Alps, most of these are now equipped with snowmaking.

Total Pistes: 400 km
Blue: 24%
Red: 55%
Black: 21%
Lifts: 63
Altitude: 1372m – 2749m

For Beginners

There’s a small slope in town but the main nursery area is quite inconveniently located up the mountain at Sportinia. At this level the snow is more reliable but there is only a magic carpet and downloading is required as the only routes back down are marked as red. Once beyond this level however, the gentle blues further up the hill provide some decent scope for progression.

For Intermediates

The whole area is ideal for confident intermediates and you really get a sense of travelling if you venture away from the local slopes, past Sestriere, and make your way towards Montgenèvre. Some of the reds down towards the link by Sansicario are particularly good, especially the quiet piste 71. Another area worth exploring is at Moncrons – despite the draglifts and slow chair – as it is often quiet and great on a sunny day as it lies above the treeline.

For Advanced/Expert & Off Piste

Despite over 80km of the slopes holding the ‘black’ rating, many of these would be reds in other resorts. In reality there are limited challenges for advanced and expert skiers, but if you catch the resort after fresh snowfall, the tree runs are often deserted and you could be finding fresh powder stashes days after the storm has rolled through.

Sauze d'Oulx Resort

The resort is centred on a cobbled, car-free zone in keeping with the traditional buildings of the region. From this, larger hotels and chalets spread out across the hillside so check where you want to be based if walking in ski boots to the lifts in the morning isn’t your thing. At night the centre is lively, with bars filling up quickly and staying full into the small hours.

For Families

As mentioned, the beginner slopes are far from ideal but there is a small area in the resort itself. Off the slopes there is not a great deal to do for families and the busy town centre may prove to be a bit noisy if you have children – try and stay a little bit further out if this is the case.

For Après

Sauze offers some of the best après in Italy but it doesn’t quite rival the party towns in France or Austria. That being said happy hours are very popular and several places will also serve up free antipasti with your drinks. Some recommendations include Grotta, Scacco Matto and Max’s Café – home to a four hour happy hour. Later on, the late night bars get going and don’t be surprised if you end up heading to the nightclub underneath Mira’s.

Getting to Sauze d’Oulx

Sauze d’Oulx is well connected to nearby Turin, with a brand new motorway installed along the length of the Val de Susa in time for the Turin 2006 Winter Olympics, which saw some events staged in Via Lattea. As a result, transfer times can be as little as 40 minutes from Turin Airport. Regular train services run from Turin & Turin Airport along the valley, stopping at Oulx – from here, regular buses and, from March 2024, the dedicated Via Lattea Link service, will transport you from the valley floor to the resort.

Via Lattea has offered discounts on lift passes in previous years for arriving in the resort by train, although this promotion has not been confirmed as running for the 2024/25 – keep an eye on the Via Lattea website for more details. Since late 2023, the railway line between Italy and France via Modane and Grenoble has been shut owing to a landslide near Modane. As a result, international TGV and Frecchiarossa services have been unable to serve the Via Lattea, and will continue to do so until “at least early 2025”. It is recommend to plan your travel carefully to avoid this disruption.

Turin Airport: <1hr
Milan Malpensa: 2hrs
Oulx station, from Paris: 4.5hrs (line currently closed until “early 2025” owing to a landslip)

Snow Overview

Italy

Updated 17/02

Good snowfall for many areas tapers off sharply as the new week begins; the Via Lattea will see a few last remaining flurries as the sun begins to fight its way through, and the freezing line beginning to pick up and move towards a more spring-like freeze-thaw pattern. Elsewhere, the Aosta sees half-a-foot of snow on higher ground on Tuesday with flurries continuing on to Wednesday; the freezing line will stay well below 1,000m, too, ensuring this snow reaches all elevations.

Thursday will see good snow good snow come to most areas, with at least 10cm down over western areas. The Dolomites will see excellent snow really for the first time this season, with around 40cm expected down on thursday – things remain cool, too, with the freezing line sitting at around 1,500m, meaning snow will reach all but the lowest elevations. Sun returns to this part of the region, with spring-like freeze-thaw patterns beginning to form as the weekend continues.

Cloud remains the theme of the week throughout the rest of the country.

Colin Macallister

Repping dates: 15/02/2026 - 01/03/2026

I have been skiing since the age of 14 or was it 12? So long ago I can't remember! Never happier than when in the mountains with good company, some of my best memories and many of my friends have come through skiing.
For me, giving something back to the sport I have had so much enjoyment from is really important and through 2015 / 16 I was privileged to coach a young woman to success in the Special Olympics in Serre Chevalier. My enthusiasm for skiing is only surpassed by my sense of humour and I look forward to sharing bad jokes, lots of laughs and great times in the mountains with Ski Club members.
Meeting new people, making new friends, having great experiences in the outdoors - What could be better?

Repping dates: 01/03/2026 - 15/03/2026

Please call me Bob.

I was 45 when I first strapped a pair of planks to my feet but I was totally hooked from that first moment (in Les Deux Alpes) and (until Covid) there's never been a winter, since, without at least one ski trip. I've skied in France, Italy, Austria, Switzerland, Germany, Norway, Sweden and Canada and, since 2008, I've been a Ski Club Rep, Leader, Ambassador and Rep again. I've skied with hundreds of Ski Club Members in the intervening years representing the Club in France, Italy, Switzerland and Canada.

Jane Black

Repping dates: 15/03/2026 - 29/03/2026

My first love is and has always been skiing. My love affair started when I was a young student and I cut my teeth on the mountains of Scotland. I have been fortunate to ski in many European resorts over the years as well as America, Canada and Japan. I like nothing better than cruising the piste to skiing steep and deep, and now dipping my feet into some ski touring too! From a fair-weather skier to an all-weather skier (and sometimes snowboarder too) I love it all. A bad day on the slopes is better than a good day at the office!! I really look forward to meeting you and sharing my joy of skiing with you, as well as the coffee & cake stops
