Overview
Oulx is a commune in the Metropolitan City of Turin in the Italian region Piedmont, located about 70 kilometers west of Turin, in the Susa Valley on the border with France.
Description
There is some wonderful skiing at Oulx (or more accurately Sauze d'Oulx). The old town of Oulx (pronounced 'oohlz' - sort of!) is a treat to stay in. Tree skiing and general off-piste is excellent and freshies can be had days after the last snowfall. Snow quality is excellent as all the resort is above 1500m and snowfall in this region is reliable.
Sauze d'Oulx ski resort's lift and piste links to the broader Via Lattea give a huge amount of scope to explore. The daily lift pass price for Oulx and all the Italian Via Lattea skiing of €38 (18-19 price) is an exceptional value by world standards and easily the best value in Western Europe. No self-respecting Powderhound will regret a mid-week trip to Oulx.
