Lift Passes

The Milky Way lift pass in Sauze d’Oulx covers you for all the resorts on the Italian side of the border. This is the default pass that is sold. You can buy anything from half day passes right through to a full seasons pass.

You automatically get 2 days in the French resort of Montgenevre included with a 6 day or more pass. This can be taken anytime during your stay. You are also entitled to 1 day in Bardonecchia. You need to request a coupon from the Vialattea ticket offices and then produce that along with your Vialattea ski pass at the Bardonecchia ski pass office. 

If you’re coming out for a weeks holiday then the normal 6 day pass is recommended. There is a full 6 day ‘international pass’ which allows you multiple trips into France however it would take a gargantuan effort to fully utilise this pass. The price of this pass is €318.

It is possible to buy a reduced pass for beginners who won’t get the full use of a Milky Way pass. You can buy a daily pass for €37.00 in low season and €40 in high season. This gives you access to the Sportinia, Clotes & Jouvenceaux chairlifts. Alternatively you can buy what’s called a Snowpark pass which includes the Sportinia chair, the Jouvenceaux chair and Rocce Nere. The cost for this is €39 per day low season and €43 per day high season. There isn’t the option to buy multiple day passes for either of these tickets. Also see ‘Walkers’ pass for a possible option for people looking for an introduction to skiing.

Half day passes start at 13.00hrs and cost €37.00 low season and €41 high season.

The seasonal pass goes on sale on the 19th October and during the promotional period, which ends 11th November the cost is €900. After the promotional period ends the cost increases to €1250.

There are several offices in Sauze d’Oulx where you can buy ski passes. The 2 chair lifts that service Sauze d’Oulx both have ticket offices located at the bottom of them. Alternatively you can buy them in the centre of town from the ticket office outside the K2 hotel.

For none skiers you can buy a daily return ticket for 3 lifts:- Sportinia, Jouvenceaux-Sportinia and Clotes. The costs €18.00. The tickets can be used for 1 return journey on any of the 3 lifts. This will allow you to gain access to the restaurants in the main Sportinia area above Sauze d’Oulx and also at the top of Clotes. It also means that complete beginners who just want to use the small beginners slope located in Sportinia will be able to do so.

Yes, but this covers you only for the extraction from the mountain in the event of an accident. It will not cover you for loss of your pass or any other medical cover. Without this additional cover you will be asked to pay the piste patrol in the event that they are called out to you, even if you have your own travel insurance. The cost for the insurance is €3.50 per day. You must add this prior to activating your pass. Please be aware that it is a legal requirement to have third party liability insurance to ski in the Vialattea. Ensure that your holiday insurance includes this.
