Sauze d'Oulx, The Milky Way , Italy

Sauze d'Oulx skiing

Sauze d'Oulx is one of the bigger resorts in the Milky Way with access to nearly 400km of runs. The resort is great for intermediates, although beginners and advanced skiers might have a harder time. There are few nursery runs and finding more challenging terrain means travelling large distances. Snowboarders will love carving down the long wide blues, but beware, there are a lot of draglifts to contend with. However, buy a Milky Way lift pass and you'll have access to Sauze d'Oulx's neighbours Sestriere, Cesana, Sansicario and the French resort Montgenèvre

Sauze d'Oulx ski resort

The town itself is fairly attractive, particularly the old centre (although traffic can be a problem) and restaurants on and off the snow are decent and inexpensive. Having mostly shaken off its image as Ibiza in the Alps, Sauze d'Oulx still has a somewhat hectic nightlife. There has however been a conscious attempt to extend Sauze's attractions, with the addition of ice rinks, cinemas and more sophisticated après ski options.
