Sauze d'Oulx Reviews & Ratings

Good skiing for intermediates. Cheap food in the town and reasonable food on the slopes too. Good value trip!

Sauze is nearly the perfect ski resort for me - the big pluses are the quaint town , the nice bars and not too pricey, there is a fab takeaway pizza place and its Italy so stylish and relaxed. Downside is the Clotes chairlift - it starts too late - why not start this at 8.45 to reduce queues and it is slow; there is a ski shuttle bus to Sportinia chairlift that ideally would be free but is 10 Euros - the pfaff is keeping your ticket handy. The links to the other resorts in Via Lattea (Milky Way)close far too easily/often and it would be great if there was a ski bus to say Cesana at bottom of San Sicario and free ski busses when the link to top of Mont Fraiteve linking the Via Lattea is shut as getting back to Sauze you have the dreaded two parallel long draglift - if there was a chairlift to the top that would be fab and also the deadly slow 2 man chair from Sauze to top of Sestriere/San Sicario makes you freeze and puts you off doing the Blacks apart from on transit - Cote Faure chairlift needs to open as this opens up Genevris. Sestriere has better snow as higher up, but evening it is dull and Sauze has some free food bars for Apres. Sauze has to be good as this is my third year going back and been to Sestriere too 0- with a family San Sicario/Cesana would be good location and is perfect location within Via Lattea biut no nightlife apart from in hotel. One other thing would be to add a couple of newer quick chairlifts in Sauze to create more runs as views and restairants are superb. Liftpasses are good value and I much prefer here to the 3 Valleys as there are lots of tree lined slopes and Claviere is lovely too.

Great resort for good advanced skiers and boarders. Abondance of tree line wide open but challenging red pistes. Efficient lift system of mostle 2-4 man chairs that moved quickly and were in good places to fully explore the area. The actual village is set within the mountain and a lot of the roads were quite steep so if your not right in the centre of town than a car is very useful. Transfer time to Sauze is very reasonable from the northern Italian airports

There was lots of variety to the skiing and it's a big area but it's a bit of a slog to get to montgenevre with a gondola down then three slow chairs. The restaurants on the hill were good value for money, we had new snow at the end of the week and the opened up a new area in sauze which was good. Sometimes there was a bit of poling between lifts which wasn't handy. Overall a very good value week.

Some interesting runs and access to more valleys plus day trips over the border to france.
Blue runs were often on the more difficult side (narrow and often icy) compared to france.
Powder was inconsistent and high winds can shut down access to sections of runs.
Nightlife suits quiet meals in the town with little by way of late night music.
White bear on the mountain is a great lunch spot but can get busy as its the main hub. No real apres on the mountain.

Good resort fantastic food great night life. Lots to do. Lots of snow. Loads of character. Cheese is good

Great resort village, lots of bars & restaurants. Skiing area large but mainly reds, not so good for beginners, links to 400km + on the vialattea , can ski over to France. Good prices up mountain, challenging skiing on & off piste

Excellent resort both on and off the slopes varied skiing and plenty of choice for eating drinking and not rip off expensive either very reasonable.

It was very beginner and family friendly! Less slopes for more advanced skiers (difficult blacks and higher).

Nice resort. Good and and nice bars. Lifts are slow and need replacing. Accommodation good. Nmunsure what else to say.

Really good resort, very cheap, good for off-pieste and all round skiing. Went with a group of about 50 and we all loved it.

Wonderful resort, much better value for money than French alternatives. Recommend the day trip to Montgenèvre as well

A great resort and lovely for families. The snow was poor in January but the Apres ski made up for this. A great atmosphere, there was live music and good places to eat and generally have fun. Lifts were okay and when conditions are good, there is a huge area to ski the Milky way. Would return in a heartbeat but would need to ensure there was plenty of snow first. March was a better month (Skied proviously in this month) A great all round resort, value for money.

I am a uni student and went with some of my mates it was good crack and not too expensive and we drank beer. well worth it

Brilliant resort, would definitely go back. The pizza in the local town was exceptional and so cheap.

Went with small group of friends - Fun resort, went using weski which found us a very cheap deal that was great value for money. Lift passed covers all of Milky Way area. Great runs with trees and had great powder. Everyone was very friendly. Not much variation in runs (mostly reds). Beautiful town and old town ( much prettier then new purpose built places). A quiet, wholesome resort with some fun lively bars.

We stayed at the Chaberton lodge (hotel and spa) and absolutely loved it. Our package was half board and the food was fantastic including the sushi (this was included in the price at 24 pieces per person for the main meal option)

The room was spacious and warm which was pleasant. The staff were helpful. The spa was a little out dated but generally good at €30 per day as a hotel guest

The hotel had a shuttle bus which would take and pick up from the sportina lift at any time which was AMAZING.

The slopes at sauze were fanastic as an intermediate skier. We had fresh snow which is always great to ski on. The instructor renzo at the ski school (the red one) was superb. He was super knowledgeable and friendly, easy to work with and helped us progress a lot.

We had a Fantastic time :)

Great resort been a few times. Nicely located and can ski to lots of different areas. Sestrierre a must go. Great Italian cuisine everywhere you go.

Good base, plenty of places to go. Good for beginners, couple of lifts never open some need some tlc. But best value for money

Great resort for beginners as plenty of slope options down the mountain and a nice town for food/drinks with shopping options for if skiing becomes a bit much.

Sauze has options to ski over into France using different lifts and skiing and make a day of it and it’s easy to get a taxi back to Sauze at the end of the day.

Plenty options for ski schoo for adults and kids too.
