Back from a great week in Sauze, Feb 2008. Had been here four years ago and it was just as good as before. Stayed in a lovely homely, friendly hotel; Hotel Martin in Jovenceaux. It's about 1 mile from the centre but a bus can bring you up or Max, in the hotel, will bring you up at night ( all downhill on the way home). The ski hire is outside the door and the ski lift is about a four minute walk!
The food was lovely and the atmosphere; great. The walk down each evening was brilliant, lots of apres-ski. I can't praise the resort enough. The snow was very good and the weather; lovely. Can't wait to go back.

Just got back from Sauze. The resort is ok but would not recommend it to friends. The lifts are old fashioned and some of the Italian people could be nicer to tourists because if they carry on the way they are doing they might find that their slopes/hotels/apartments might be a bit emptier in the near future. The food was either excellent or poor. Cold lasagne, cold coffee, rotten lettuce and hard bread... Zias restaurant was fantastic but avoid Per Bacco as they tried to charge our group 32 Euros for a starter that included 8 pieces of ham, a large piece of lettuce and 5 olives. It's only when I said that they should call the police as I wasn't prepared to pay the full bill that they subtracted 11 Euros from the bill. still a rip off. If you need to use the internet go to the pool/table tennis shopping centre next to Hotel Derby. Do not go to the one next to the The Cotton Club as they rip you off and somehow charge you to register to use the internet??? Oh, my friend had a little accident on the Friday. I called the emergency services using the 112 number and was astonished to find out that the emergency services and local police could not speak a word of English. Unbelievable, considering most of the tourists there are English! Hotel Besson have a lovely spa facility and the Godfather restaurant is worth a visit as the owner is quite funny. Acceptable but definitely not going back. Austria next year. Forget Italy.

I went to Sauze from Feb 3 to the 10. It snowed heavily on the first day which kept the snow great all week. There was off- piste everywhere unless the machines had been over it, and tree runs were fun. The gondola to Sestriere was open. Also, the run to Sestiere which hadn't been open in past seasons (someone tells me at the start of the run) was open too. Highly recommend going to Sestriere. The womens downhill or super G was on and we got a lift behind someone from the
US ski team. Stayed in hotel Edelweiss which was good 'cause the lift is 100 meters down a run so you can ski down it, BUT this means you have to walk up at the end of the day which feels like trying to pull a Boeing 747 uphill. If you can go to France definitely go it's hell good. It's quite a walk from Jouvenseux to the main town Sauze but it's quite good. We saw Jakki Degg and Lisa Maffia around town.
The skiing was class when we went, but looking at the reports now, it hasn't snowed since the first day I was there and I wouldn't be happy if I was there now. I would be worried to book there again in case of the snow, but that's a shame because it's a really good resort, five stars when theres been lots of snow.

I've been skiing in Sauze for at least 6 years. My husband and I love it there. Last year we went to America to ski, the runs were fab. but the night life was really bad! Nothing like Sauze at all. We've stayed in Des Amie Hotel in Jouvenseux, Hotel Sauze, New Miravelle, and Raise des Alpes. Hotel Sauze is right at the end of the slopes and you can ski right up to the door. The staff are very friendly and the atmosphere is relaxed. Some people even come down to breakfast in their pyjamas. The food is excellent too. From here you can ski over to Sesterier, it's a beautiful day out, the scenery is fantastic.
We're off to Sauze next Sunday, but at the moment the snow report doesn't look too good. I just hope it snows before we go.
I'm really looking forward to it !!! 20.02.08

Went to Sauz d'Oulx in Jan 08. Had a great time. It snowed really hard and the resort was packed with snow. We stayed at the hotel Sayorana. It was warm and comfy and the food was good. Prices on resort were ok. I expected it to be more expensive but there is no market. Ice rink or cinema as stated in the brochures so not much to do for the non skier. A visit to Turin is hard work on public transport but it is worth it.

J and C,
I am not altogether surprised that you chose to make your slightly xenophobic review anonymously.
“Italians were nice and friendly but most of them seriously needed some deo!!”
Shame on you!
I suggest you do a little research before you book your next holiday so you don’t inadvertently end up booking a hotel in a village outside the resort if you want to stay in the resort.

Myself and a mate went on a last minute cheapy, booked 3 days before departure in March 2007. We had to fly from Manchester as part of the deal, hardly on our doorstep (Peterborough) but possibly the best UK departure airport experience I have had!!! Flight was delayed because of high winds, but only an hour or so, and then they couldn't shut one of the doors and had to find a new nut and bolt to fit - Star Alliance airlines, chartered to BMI. Only a little A320 airbus. Needless to say, it got blown about on take off, but after the initial 15 minutes of violence, the flight to Turin was fine.
Lots of snow over Switzerland, contrary to reports, Turin airport was actually warm and sunny. Around 20c, not good when you want to ski!
The airport is badly organised - bags from UK flights appearing all over the place, skis and boots on the wrong carousel too. Crystal rep got cheeky with everyone and threatened to leave people behind who had not got luggage, and asked those who hadn't to get on the bus and they would send it on - yeah, right! We were with Panorama (Airtours) booked through skideals.co.uk - £129 for a weeks half board. I wasn't expecting much for that, apart from somewhere to sleep to be honest. You cant fly to Turin on a Sunday for less than that!
Transfer to Sauze took about 90 minutes, the resort was hot and sunny when we arrived. Headed out for a beer, and had to sit in T shirts and roll jeans up, it was so warm!
Luckily we had our own skis and boots, as the rental shops in general didn't look good. Lots of old and damaged skis, worn out boots, but mainly because there hadn't been much snow this season. Short walk from where buses drop you to the main square. We were in Hotel Sportinia. For £129, you can't complain, but had I paid full price, I would be quite upset. The receptionist got arrested for doing drugs and turned out to be an illegal immigrant from Brazil, the bedrooms were large but basic, but adequate for a nights sleep, but the place was run by a Romanian family of gypsies, who were neither trusting nor friendly. Very strange people indeed. Food was ok, edible, but not very filling, and we often ended up eating up in town later on as well.
Found Paddy McGintys and stayed there first evening and every other evening. It's a fun place, good natured, always something going on, god pint of Peroni, and H who runs it is welcoming.
Next morning, it was minus 10! Sudden change in temp is common up here apparently. Headed up Clotes lift, no sign of any snow until we reached the top, where the pistes were all groomed with some real and some fake snow, but the actual skiing conditions were excellent - lots of long open cruising runs, and we had the best weeks skiing ever.
Roca Nere restaurant at the Sportinia is the place to eat; friendly family run bar.
We headed over the 1 man chair to Sestriere, good day out there, and took a day bus trip to Montgenevre - highly recommended, where we did off-piste and skied a river bed too.
Sauze is fun, and the skiing is good. Italian accommodations is renowned for being basic, but the people, food and nightlife make up for it.
Go here for good skiing and good fun.

Avoiding Andy Capps every night proved to be impossible. Members of my ski party could still be found there at 4 in the morning, which is not conducive for a 9:30 meeting at the top of the mountain. Cold weather but a lack of snow meant that the link to Sestriere wasn't open so all the piste was well bashed before we stopped skiing.

Went to Sauze D'Oulx in April 07 and stayed in Hotel Splendid. The hotel was great, food was plentiful and the staff were great too. Skiing was great with plenty of good reds and blacks. The ski instructors were the best I have ever been taught by. Stefano, and Corado were second to none. If you want to get your skiing up to scratch then these guys are the ones. However, if you are just starting out there are not many greens or blues.
