5 School Ski Resorts Great For Easter Skiing

Sauze d’Oulx, Italy

The site of the freestyle skiing in the 2006 Winter Olympics, the staggeringly high Sauze d’Oulx tops out at 2,701m – which means it ticks the list for high-altitude snow coverage in spring. Another tick goes to the extensive glade skiing opportunities, which can help to increase snowfall during Easter days.

And complemented with over 400km of sparkling piste action, there’s plenty of blue to red runs with some black trails for stronger skiers as well. Also, it interlinks with ski areas Sestriere and Sansicario to breath-takingly boost those skiing and snowboarding slope options.

Plus, full of old-style rustic charm, it’s part of the massive Milky Way complex with a mind-boggling 62 lifts to choose from and plenty of thriving après to be entertained by.

With the chance for sole-occupancy hotels it’s one of our most popular resorts, so chat with our specialist and friendly Ski team to get in quick.
