What to do
In Sauze d’Oulx
Rather than outlining everything that you can do in Sauze d’Oulx, both in the winter and in the summer, we added some links below as these websites already have pretty much everything covered. In addition, we highlighted some items that we particularly liked.
Links:
Getting Around
- Sauze d’Oulx operates a limited circulation area (ZTL – zona traffico limitato) so between 10.00-13.00 and 16.30-22.00 during high season, only authorised vehicles are allowed in the center
- You can always get to the apartment by car, however during the above times you cannot cross the center and have to drive around (via Triplex, then via Miramonti)
- For the rest, you can walk everywhere in Sauze d’Oulx. Getting down to Jouvencaux by foot is possible but a decent walk (20-25min)
