Ski area Via Lattea

A total of 400 kilometers of piste and 69 lifts are accessible with the lift pass "Via Lattea". Due to the great altitude (1,372 - 2,789 m) and the available snow-making systems, this resort is especially snow sure. All winter sports fans now profit from the countless improvements made to the infrastructure especially for the Winter Olympics in 2006. Sauze d'Oulx is currently one of the largest ski stations of the Via Lattea with a widespread ski area and ski lifts to Monte Moncrons. Beginners as well as pros have a lot of diversity on the piste. Snowboarders can compete in the half-pipes of the snow parks in Sestrière and Montgenèvre, as well as in the "Double Black Park" at the Rio Nero near Sauze d'Oulx with a quarter pipe, rails and kickers.
