We have skiied in Sauze twice - once as a family with 3 teenage kids, and once with a large group of families. The resort is fun, cost effective, and has something for everyone. Scope to ski further afield to Sestriere so plenty to do. Good range of cheap accommodation - quite variable in quality. One hotel we stayed at was incredible value for money (Hotel Splendid) with half board and sauna/pool which was a welcome bonus. Not a fancy hotel decor wise but very friendly with big open bar areas to relax in. Great for kids - pool table and space to run around. Only big issue with Sauze is the horrendous final run back into the resort at the end of the day - which every day was either icy or slush and littered with people struggling to get down!

Visited soon after Covid so may not have been the ideal time to go. Ski instruction for the children was excellent and I enjoyed a lesson too. Great teaching. Only quite a small resort and was very busy at the main central ski lift. With long waits. The variety of slopes were less as only a small resort. However there were a couple of lovely red runs which were nice and wide. Access to the mountain was a trek up through the village and then two chair lifts or a bus ride and single lift straight to the ski school. Nice atmosphere at the resort though and plenty of lively bars and restaurants.

Snow wasnt amazing, so difficult to judge the off piste slopes. Nice high mountains so even though the snow wasnt amazing the piste was ok up high. Lovely town with good atmosphere and restaurants. Enjoyable week

Ski instructors really helpful ski lift speed very slow food options are decent quite expensive but expected overall 4/5

I enjoyed a great week of skiing with a group of friends in Early March. Best things about the resort have to be the town and the food, the restaurants serve the best in Italian cuisine and are very reasonably priced - significantly more so than most French resorts. The lift passes and accomodation were also excellent value for money, as well, the transfers only took 70mins so were very affordable too. The views from the mountain were amazing, the slopes were very good although snow was rather poor further down and the resort seemed not to want to turn on any of their snow cannons all week - irritating. During the week, the pistes were very quiet, though at the weekend, especially in the sun, the locals were out in force and the queue did grow noticeably. There was very good apres on a couple of the nights but very little unless you looked quite hard on others. Although it was fine for us, nightlife late into the evenings was limited. Worst things about the resort had to be the refusal to use the snow cannons as mentioned, the lifts were also rather slow and old in places. On two of the days, the connections to Montgenevre, and to Sestriere were closed due to high winds so it shouldnt be taken for granted that it will always be passable.

Italian hospitality is fantastic, food is amazing. Limited runs in resort and although it has linked ski resorts, any sign of wind, the lifts shut and can either leave you stuck in your resort or stranded in another. Lofts are very dated and slow. Snow park is shut most days. Lifts shut too early but allowing enough time to visit furthest linked resort. Good value for money but needs updating.

Well maintained resort but was a little bit busy so sometimes had to queue for the lifts. Great bars and atmosphere in the towns and around the bottom of the slopes

Great traditional old village. Very atmospheric .Some really nice restaurants and bars. Good value for money. Lower parts not snow sure so some lifts close when conditions are not right. Always ok if you stay high and great links to sestriere and claviere /Montgenevre.

Great resort for intermediate, loads of nice runs trough the trees and plenty of good restaurants on the slopes and in town. Lifts are very dated though and could do with a general renewal. The old town is very pretty and theres plenty of après-ski bars.

Sauze is a lovely town with some old Alpine charm and has a nice laid back vibe. We skied the 1st week of March this year, with a big dump of snow the day we arrived. This did mean the following day they only opened 2 lifts in the morning due to avalanche risk and only one more higher up in the afternoon. So it was a bit limiting and queues formed. The next day you still couldnt ski across to Sansicario and Sestriere as the link was closed. They never did open up the top of Sauze the week we were there. Pros of the resort are lots of tree skiing if the visibility is bad, lots of red runs, nice wide runs in Sansicario. Cheap mountain restaurants but good food. A nice vibe and that time of year there was very little queuing for lifts. The link across to France is long and pretty much takes a full morning to get across due to having to take 3 lifts in a row and some lifts being very slow. ( my daughter and I ski over 90km a day so it wasnt due to ability!) We like the Italian vibe but some of the pistes were never opened up which didnt make sense. However the ski area from Sauze to Sestriere is pretty extensive so its not a big deal! Id say a good resort for intermediate / advanced skiers, maybe not so good for beginners on the Sauze side. We didnt really experience the off piste as by the time things had opened up the snow was very heavy. The views are beautiful. I would go back as we had a great week, but wouldnt go back consecutive years in a row. In a way its nice its not over developed as it keeps its charm as long as you dont mind a few slow chairs lifts!
