General Comments

Never again...
Just got back from a nightmare trip to Sauze d'Oulx. A group of us went early in the season, they had received a massive amount of snow which got us all excited... until we realised that they hadn't prepared any lifts, any pistes or anything at all.
I've been to about 11 or so ski resorts in Europe and Sauze and the surrounding area is the worst by far.
The snow was amazing but thats as far as it goes. The whole ski areas lift system is the worst designed thing ever, skiing connecting areas is a nightmare and the runs are very limiting. The red runs are more like blues and we couldn't find a single challenging run. The lifts are mostly out of date and very slow.
What lifts and pistes they choose to open close very early. The food and drinks prices are disgusting. The town is horrible, badly organised and a little bit of snow and the whole place shuts down. The people running this resort should hold their heads in shame. Do not get a taxi - biggest rip off ever.
I could go on about how bad this place is but all I can say is do not go here, it may be cheap but there is a very good reason for that. Pay slightly more and go somewhere half decent.
All my trips to the French alps have been far superior to my Italian trips, I will never be going skiing in Italy again.
Read other reviews and see for yourself, especially those written by people who have been to other ski resorts.
