If you’re all about that après-ski life, Sauze d'Oulx is your jam. The atmosphere kicks off at La Folie Douce and doesn't stop till the early hours. Queen's Lounge offers a pub feel with sports screening, while Sports Café serves up cheap cocktails by a roaring fire. For something more local, Lampioni in the old town serves Piemontese wines. Or, step right off the slopes to Village Café to catch the vibe.
