Part of the massive Milky Way complex that offers 400km of piste. Sauze d'Oulx is a nice, rustic town that has been invaded by skiers. The resort used to be infamous for an ancient lift system that made Glenshee fast by comparison but in 2005 the slow 2 man uplift was replaced with a fast four-man chair. Beyond, there is some good skiing that appears to suit all abilities. However, many of the black runs at Sauze d'Oulx have a red feel and the reds are a bit more blue. You can ski to Sestriere but keep an eye on the weather and time as a taxi ride home is an expensive exercise. Snowboarders should head to Double Black Park, a snow park located in the Rio Nero valley, on the crossing point of Sestriere, Sauze d'Oulx, and Sansicario skiing domains. Off the piste the resort town of Sauze d'Oulx is charming in parts but seems to have embraced 'the Brits abroad' style a bit too much. You can drink until late, and then some, if you desire.

Visitor Reviews of Sauze d'Oulx (Via Lattea)
John Jones from Italy writes:
Sauze d'Oulx (Via Lattea)
Back again for the 3rd year and still booking all my ski extras through 'the shower!' as it is called by Robin Marriot (see Jan 31 2012 comment) and still extremely happy to save loads of money for my family through Skiinitaly besides being offered excellent professional service by Christine.
Snow conditions great this winter, the ski area as vast as ever, sign posting is improving, apres-ski as quiet or as noisy and lively as one wishes and this year even more places are having live music which is great. The best pizza in town at La Griglia, best pasta at Sugos, and some great wine at Lampiones and Seggiovia for aperitivo italian style.
Enjoy
