About the area
Sauze d'Oulx is red-run country. Of the 57 km mapped here, 39 km are red and only 14 km (24%) are green or blue, so confident intermediates get the most out of it. Beginners can start — there are 5 magic carpets and 14 short easy runs next to a lift base — but progression beyond the first week is limited. Experts should look elsewhere: just 4 km (6%) is black or freeride terrain, and the longest vertical on a single run is 570 m.
The ski area runs from 1385 m up to 2686 m, so the upper slopes hold snow better than the lower return runs. Lift access is straightforward: 18 lifts in total, 10 of them chairlifts, plus 3 platters and the carpets on the nursery slopes. The longest run measures 2650 m.
