Sauze d’Oulx is a mountain village in Piedmont, above the Susa Valley. Its old streets, squares and surrounding forests make it a base for both winter and summer stays. Jouvenceaux lies below the centre; Sportinia is higher on the mountain. The town map provides a useful overview of accommodation, services and nearby businesses.
Explore on SauzeLocalOulx is the railway gateway to Sauze. Your train arrives in the valley; your final bus or taxi brings you up to the village. Use the journey cards above to plan each stage. Tell your accommodation where and when you will arrive, especially if you need help with luggage or a late transfer.
Explore on SauzeLocalFind your accommodation and lift departure on the town map before setting off. Check the walking route, not just the distance: Sauze has hills, and Jouvenceaux is below the centre. Ask your accommodation which shuttle stop to use when the seasonal service operates. For parking, follow the signs on arrival and check whether payment or a permit is required.

A day on the mountainSauze’s slopes include many red runs through larch woods. Sportinia has learning areas, while the higher terrain leads towards other Vialattea sectors. Routes should suit the skier’s ability and allow sufficient time for the return journey. The ski map identifies pistes, lifts and mountain stops; daily operating status is published by the lift operator.
Explore on SauzeLocalFrom Sauze, the upper-area links towards Rio Nero and Fraiteve lead into the Sestriere and Sansicario sectors when open. Beyond Sansicario, the wider network continues towards Cesana and Claviere; Montgenèvre is the French sector. These are route-planning landmarks, not turn-by-turn directions. On the official map, trace the open pistes and lifts in both directions, confirm ticket coverage and the last return connection. Bardonecchia requires a road or rail transfer.
Explore on SauzeLocalVialattea has announced 5 December 2026 to 11 April 2027 for the winter season. These are the planned season dates, not a promise that every piste, lift or resort connection will operate throughout. Check the daily opening report before choosing your route.
Ticket coverage varies with the product and duration. Travel to another sector or across the French border requires confirmation of the areas and days included in the ticket. Vialattea publishes the current tariffs and access conditions. The operator and ticket offices provide product-specific access information.
Rental shops provide equipment fitting and adjustment for different ability levels. Package contents, equipment exchanges and storage arrangements vary by business. Ski schools can advise on lessons according to age, experience and preferred language. Rental businesses and schools are available in the SauzeLocal directory.
