Our first day of skiing. Plenty of snow but, unfortunately, many pistes are closed as not ready for the visitors. Hence, massive queues and not much to ski. Very disappointed!!!! Let's hope tomorrow turns up with better prepared slopes or we will not return to this area and may choose different country such a Austria which always have the customers as a priority. We paid lots of money for our ski passes and can only hope we can use them fully tomorrow in fully opened resort.

Returned from a great long weekend's skiing in Sauze d'Oulx (Via Lattea) at the end of Jan 2016. The fact that the resort is a mere hour from Turin airport makes it perfect for a long weekend break. The lively bars are also a bonus and we had some top notch food to boot.
I started going to Italy around three years ago after simply getting fed up with the queues, the expense and the long transfers to the big French resorts. Nothing has happened so far that would make me turn back. The skiing was great especially over on the Moncrons section of the resort, even though the snow was not as deep as it should be for the time of year. The sun shone, the beer was cheap and the locals were glad to see us!
There are a few gripes I have with this resort though and they have mostly been mentioned before: the Moncron section is only served by drags, this is where all of the powder was but the borders with us weren't interested as they were so long and very steep. The beginners area in the village is not served by snow machines. We actually could not believe our eyes at the sight of people coming down sheer ice to avoid the steep walk downhill from lift base; a few canons would mean people could ski to the town. Mt. Fraiteve, the only way to ski out of Sauze (down to either Sestriere or Sansicario) is still served by a very slow 2-man lift which closes at any sign of wind. This is especially frustrating as only half the runs in Sauze d'Oulx (Via Lattea) were open so we became very limited when the wind picked up. Taxis are an absolute rip off and should be avoided at all costs; we paid €45 for two of us to go 12 mins from Cesana to Montgenevre.
A final tip to anyone planning to ski from Sauze d'Oulx (Via Lattea) to Montgenevre: don't bother skiing, plan to catch the bus from Oulx (€3) which will drop you at the bottom of the lift in Cesana for around 09:00. Once you catch the lifts towards Claviere and navigate the way to Montgenevre, you will be skiing in France before 10:00. If you do the same on the way back (aiming to catch the 17:00 bus), you end up with an entire day between the lovely resorts of Claviere and Montgenevre instead of clock watching trying to catch the last lifts home.
All in all and, would recommend everyone to give it a go; it won't disappoint!

Just got back from Sauze. Brilliant ski conditions, lots of empty wide slopes. My husband boards and he was delighted in the off-piste snow. Would def recommend. It's a shame there isn't any apres-ski on the slopes, but there is enough in-doors bars. It's just a shame when the weather is sunny to be inside.

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

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!

Just returned back to UK having left the area getting a welcome covering in fine snow which should see out the season as most of the pistes were well kept. The piste markings relating to the local maps are not very accurate and information as to what was open / closed was a bit hit and miss and was left much to trial and error. The beginners routes were more difficult than the intermediate blue/red routes often with rocks and ice abundant. Stayed at the Stella Alpina very very close to the lifts and piste with the boot room next door - brilliant! The Scotch Bar in the Stella Alpina closes at 11pm to keep it nice and quiet for it's residents but the town centre 5mins away on foot has plenty of bars with live music etc etc. Would I go back - YES

Just back from Sauze d'Oulx, enjoyed the easy red/blue runs and the faster new Roce Nere chair lift.
Sauze is still such good value for money. arrived on 8th Jan and cannot believe we were almost alone on the piste. Had a great day skiing Sestriere and San Sicario. Snow conditions were fine considering there has not been much snow.
Great apres-ski with live music in many bars, hotel derby very cheap and cheerful and found eating out a pleasure and very reasonable, maybe the strong pound has helped, which reminds me I did not book any extras like lift passes, ski hire etc before I left UK cause I read the reviews below, and emailed skiinitaly@gmail.com before I left, compared prices and thanks to the good exchange ended up paying the equivalent of £144 for my pass and £60 for top skis through them.
So if you are on your way to Italy get your £ exchanged before you leave into Euro.
If you have an iphone or similar loads of bars offer free wifi, just great to keep up with all at home also on FB Ski InItaly I manged to know every day what was happening re lifts, weather, activities, live music you name it.
Have a great trip if you are on your way to Sauze d'Oulx.

Had a wonderful week in Sauze (Sauze d'Oulx (Via Lattea))over New Year. Loved the rolling red runs through the trees, particularly red 11 which is used for the torchlit descent.
Interesting comments about skiinitaly.com. Although their prices are competitive I did some research online too before I went and found the reviewer's claims about in-resort prices being hugely exagerated. Ski school for 6 days is 129€ with Scoula Sci Sauze so I don't know where they got her price of 150€ from. I don't prebook as mostly cheaper to do it nearer the time but can sometimes can get some excellent deals with the tour operators if you time your booking right.

Sauze d'Oulx (Sauze d'Oulx (Via Lattea)) is just great. Vialattea offers so much skiing area, even if the lift system really needs to be updated. It was freezing on some of the chairs, I would have loved a bubble to keep the cold out, and if they were faster it would have helped too.
Apres-ski is brilliant, prices good, atmosphere in the bars, live music, great restaurants, just cannot fault the resort at all. Even managed to fit in a trip to see Italian football.
I emailed Christine as suggested by the Jones family 1 week before travelling and she arranged everything for us regarding ski packs.
Hired equipment was the best we have come across with a great choice for all levels and even twin tips at decent prices and we also used her to save money on ski school prices. The great thing is that she is available in resort, in the ski hire and any time we needed her she was a phone call away so just contact her @skiinitaly.com
Watch out Sauze I will be back with a group of lads mid March.
See you all there.
