Walking in Sauze d'Oulx

The town of Sauze d'Oulx is about 340 meters above sea level, it has 1,100 inhabitants. It is about 83 kilometers from Turin and was called in this way because of the numerous willows that grow in the area. Already inhabited in Roman times, in the Middle Ages it was the kingdom of Burgundy and then belonged to the Dauphine.In 1747 it was the basis for the French retreat after the battle of Assietta.

Today it is an important summer and winter holiday resort. Its geographical position is in fact one of the most favorable: located on the slopes of Mount Genevris (2,540), it is very popular by winter sports lovers. There are many lifts, including chairlifts and ski lifts.

To visit: the parish church of San Giovanni Battista dates back to the 16th century, with a pseudo-Romanesque bell tower, inside it preserves a bathtub baptismal in green stone (which carves the coat of arms of the Dolphins of France) and an eighteenth-century wooden Ancona of the school of Mélezet.
In the evening, Sauze d'Oulx will offer you an exciting nightlife. The town includes two distinct parts: the old typically Alpine village and, higher, the new part formed by villas and hotels.

In summer, instead, it is the ideal environment in which to spend your holiday in contact with nature, walking in the nearby woods or relaxing in the green of the & nbsp; garden. Just head for Sauze d'Oulx leaving behind the heat of the city to feel reborn in a few minutes. There are several programs to follow in Sauze, walking routes, sport fishing, rides that allow you to immerse yourself in the flora and fauna in the area of the Gran Bosco di Salbertrand, various routes in mountain biking.

Mountain bikers can take the Free Ride tracks designed under the supervision of Canadian Erik Burgon, 4Guimp technician, who followed the natural slopes of the ground. Those who lack practice, can take advantage of the basic technique lessons given by the instructors in a mini park located at the base of the Sportinia chairlift equipped for the transport of bikes. And after the tiring days, numerous pubs, nightclubs, restaurants and shops await tourists for the guaranteed fun.
