Families are well catered for on the piste with a range of ski schools on hand to ensure the kids have a fun and safe ski experience. Wide, breezy blue runs are great for a family ski together, starting at the top of the mountain you can cruise your way down the 53 and join the 52 back to the village. The nursery slope at the foot of the Clotes chair lift is in an easy location; parents can drop their children off with the school and take the chair to join the rest of the mountain. The main ski area at Sportina is also used for lessons so parents can ski alongside them or perch in a slope-side bar to watch their little ones conquer the snowplough.

Loads of restaurants in the town accommodate families: La Griglia is a popular pizza place with a casual atmosphere, and you can get a delicious crepe from Miravallino. Families with younger children can pick a hotel with childcare if the older members want to enjoy a day on the slopes. Ski buses are a saviour for families. With accommodation built into the steep mountainside, they save you from tiresome walks and run regularly through the town, stopping outside most hotels. Half board and full board hotels are a great option for a family ski holiday, with everything you need at your doorstep and you’ll avoid the hassle of having to plan meals for the whole family.

With such a variety of runs linking the slopes of the Milky Way, this is a cracking resort for mixed ability groups. Beginners can find their feet at Sportina (share a private instructor if there are a few of you learning), while more eager skiers take off to explore Sestriere or cross the border into France. You’ll find some cracking meeting points both on the mountain and off, we like the slope-side Capanna Mollino bar for sharing stories of the day over a Bombardino or two.

As one of the best après ski resorts in Italy, there are lots of options after hours. Most of the restaurants in the town can seat big groups if you call in advance, with Sugo’s a SNO favourite for its incredible spaghetti dishes. Those wanting a chilled evening can sit back and chat over a pint at Bar Miravallino, whilst anyone after a wilder night can carry on the party at The Club below or head over to Osteria dei Vagabondi for a night of dancing.

Sauze d’Oulx isn’t the right resort if you want to go somewhere for a little quiet or a romantic holiday but then it’s not raucously loud either.

Sauze d’Oulx is one of the liveliest resorts without being over the top; it’s not hard to find a bit of nightlife if you’re looking for it.

Been to Sauze d’Oulx three times, it’s very nice and friendly. There are two routes to ski back in to the village and both get well worn, but it depends what type of skiers you are if this is a problem or not! The area towards Claviere is the best area for skiing as it’s quieter. If you go over to Sest... + more

We did have a good time away but the snow wasn’t very good in Sauze d’Oulx that week (beginning of February 2016). We had a couple of trips to Montgenevre and still managed to ski every day - the week before had been warm but once the temperature dropped they got the snow cannons going. A good thing was that ... + more
