Oulx, Mountain commune in Metropolitan City of Turin, Italy

Oulx stands at an elevation of 1100 meters within the Susa Valley, surrounded by Alpine peaks and natural landscapes of the Piedmont region.

The settlement originated as Ulcium during Roman times, serving as a crucial transit point between present-day Italy and France through the Montgenèvre Pass.

The traditional Alpine architecture of Oulx incorporates stone structures with wooden balconies, reflecting the building methods passed down through generations.

The commune maintains direct rail connections to Turin and France, while multiple ski resorts within proximity offer winter sports activities from December through March.
