Popular around Oasi Xerotermica Di Oulx - Amazas
You'll come across it along the road to Sauze d'Oulx. It's a beautiful mountain church, with a three-arched portico, a beautiful portal, and a lovely bell tower, all clearly influenced by Baroque architecture. You have to go there specifically, but it's worth it—especially since the journey takes you through old Oulx, which is also worth it. The view of the church from the Oulx cemetery, with the mountains in the background, is interesting.
