Прогноз снега в Sauze d'Oulx (Vialattea)

Just back from a late Easter week in Sauze. We got lucky with the snow after a few weeks of above average temperatures. Lovely tree lined runs with only the last bit bare and slushy. Made Sestriere over the top on a sunny day, which was a treat and some lovely skiing down to San Sicarso. Only gripe about this resort is the basic lift system which needs some investment. It’s crying out for a gondola from the village up to Sportinia to serve the beginners and when the low runs are suffering. I was in the 3valleys in January and the lifts are on another planet to Sauze. The 2 seater chair, which is the main Sestriere link lift, is a joke by modern standards. But, hey, the lift pass is a lot cheaper as long as you run at Italy speed and at 1.5 euros for a coffee on the slopes it makes for a cheaper holiday. Nice quick transfer from Turin also. The town itself is ok but not sure where the boozy reputation comes from. It was dead in the evening and a few quiet bars surviving and a few clubs looked like they’d closed down. Lacking ski in-ski out and there being steep hills to walk in ski boots is no fun, To summarise, nice to go there, lovely red runs. But would I return? Probably not as all a bit dated and much better resorts to spend your time effort and money in.
