The 400km of piste that is on offer seems almost endless when right in the thick of it there is loads of opportunity for all types of skiing be it freestyle, off piste or just gentle cruising. The skiing ranges from roughly 1500m all the way up to about 2800m giving you access to high altitude slopes with guaranteed snow during the winter months as well as beautiful tree liked skiing on the lower slopes.
The beginner skiing in Sauze d'Oulx is focused around two main areas, the nursery slope the absolute beginners will learn the ropes on is at village level, at the base of the Clotes chair lift. However, the majority the beginner skiing in Sauze d'Oulx is to be found radiating from Sportina which is a plateau half way up the mountain, just above the village. Itis easily reached via a four man chairlift and is where most of the teaching in Sauze takes place.
The intermediate skiing in Sauze d'Oulx is mainly focused around the Monte Triplex and the red runs that link up with Rocce Nere but all of the skiing in Sauze is breat for intermediates. More adventurous skiers will no doubt want to purchase the full area lift pass so that they can benefit from the full 400km of piste that is on offer by linking over to Sansicario and Sestriere as well as even further field to Claviere and even Montgenevre on the French side of the border.
Advanced skiing in Sauze d'Oulx can be found in the Moncrons and the Genevris areas but as with intermediates most advanced skiers will want to make the most of the full Milky Way lift pass. Take the Bassett chair over towards Sestriere and Sansicario to test your skills and nerve on 'Kandahar', the World Championship run in Sestriere as well as the long red runs that head down towards Sansicario.
There is great off piste skiing in Sauze d'Oulx in the Genevris area and there are also some great off piste tree runs to be found on the lower slopes.

The après ski in Sauze d'Oulx is one of the main reasons that skiers and snowboarders alike flock to the resort year after year. Sauze has a reputation for being a resort with plenty of après ski venues and loads of late night parties, and this is a reputation that it certainly lives up too. If you want to ski all day and party all night then Sauze could be the place for you. However, if you want to avoid the bright lights and the late nights then it is pretty easy to do so as the nightlife and apres ski is not right in your face, like it is in some other resorts.
One of the favourite venues with British guests is the Max Bar with its satalite TV and live football. For a more of a cultured experience head to the Gran Trun wine bar or go for cocktails at Moncrons.
No matter where you end up you will undoubtedly find people dancing into the early hours and once you have had your fill of the bars you can head onto the nightclubs. Check out Schuss, New Life, or Banditos for your late night escapades.
