Like a glistening gem nestling in the mountains of the Susa Valley in the shadow of majestic Mount Seguret (2,926 m), Oulx is in step with the times despite its historic roots. Its ancient heritage is particularly evident in the Borgo Superiore (Upper Town), where there is a cobbled path winding its way up to Sauze d’Oulx. The city is a few kilometres away from the ski resorts which hosted the 2006 Olympic Games and will be a perfect destination for mountain lovers and fans of winter sports.
