So what's it like?
An ideal resort for a fun packed holiday
Sauze d'Oulx is one of the five villages which form the Milky Way and needs little introduction to the many British skiers who return there year after year. It is famous for the superb range of skiing, long hours of sunshine and wide range of après ski entertainment. The resort offers an excellent free ski bus service, which follows four routes around the village taking skiers up to the Clotes and Sportinia lifts. Transfer coaches are not permitted in the resort centre. Luggage is transported to the hotels and guests walk through the village to their accommodation.

Ski information
Beginners
The village nursery slope is at the foot of the Clotes chairlift but the main area which most beginners will use is at Sportinia, a wide open plateau also with easy runs.
Intermediates
The parallel Rocce Nere chairlifts extend from Sportinia to Monte Triplex and from the top there is a vast choice of red runs linking the Monte Triplex area with Rocce Nere. In addition, the Rio Nero drag lift is the link lift to Sansicario leading on to the famous Milky Way system covering Sestriere, Sansicario, Cesena and Claviere.
Advanced
The Moncrons area will be a challenge for better skiers and the Genevris area also offers off-piste possibilities. Cross over to Sestriere and Sansicario with the Basset 4-seater chairlift for a whizz down the World Championship Kandahar run in Sestriere and some long challenging red runs in Sansicario.
