Sauze d'Oulx (Via Lattea) Ski Resort Guide
Sauze d'Oulx (Via Lattea) Ski Resort Guide
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)
Robin Marriot from United Kingdom writes:
Just back from Sauze (Sauze d'Oulx (Via Lattea)) where we had a great holiday. We booked with Crystal ski and were provided with an excellent holiday. We took part in the Torchlight Descent and the went on the ski away day to Montgenevre. We pre-booked all our ski passes and equipment in the UK, with Crystal because they offered a great combined package.
I've seen a lot of comments on this site about skiing in Italy. During our stay this company booked another group onto the French trip but didn't order an early breakfast for them, causing them much embarrassment!! I'm glad I booked through a professional company, not this shower!
