A brief overview
Sauze d'Oulx is perched on a sunny plateau above the little town
of Oulx. Placed at the north end of the huge Vialattea ski area, some 400km of
excellently groomed pistes await. Long reputed as a Mecca for party mad skiers
and snowboarders during the 80's and 90's, Sauze has found itself a place in
the hearts of thousands of mountain fans, and over the years has grown up with
its original patrons, allowing both young revellers and old friends to enjoy
it's fantastic atmosphere. The skiing on offer here is excellent, with a huge
investment made for the Olympics of two seasons ago, the snowmaking ensures
that you can enjoy great conditions right the way through the season, and the
much improved lift systems allow you to explore the neighbouring resorts of
Sestriere, Sansicario and Claviere with ease. A Neilson favourite for now, and
we hope many seasons to come.
