Sauze d'Oulx — Italy
Sauze d'Oulx was known as as Ibiza-on-snow during the 80’s and such comparisons undoubtedly had a negative impact on the attractiveness of the resort to everyone other than the 18 – 30 brigade. Sauze (Sau-zee doox) has worked hard to shed that image though and now people of all ages enjoy winter sports in one of the most beautiful parts of northern Italy. The Milky Way is one of Europe’s big guns in terms of ski areas and has something to suit everyone.
If there is a downside to Sauze it would be the lack of investment and the disjointed nature of the lifts and public transport services. Millions also need to be spent on snow cannons in order to improve the hit and miss conditions of the lower slopes. That said, prices are competitive, access is easy from Turin and if you are looking for après fun, Sauze still does it!
