Sauze d'Oulx Reviews & Ratings

Maybe not the most ideal place for a complete beginner (like I was!), however, the ski school was great.

Extremely family friendly, great snow and was lovely to visit over Christmas.

Mainly blues and reds, great resort for intermediates. 4-person main lift (no gondolas) is walkable from town centre but easier by ski bus which costs €10 for a week. Buy bus pass from a tabacconist before you board! Resort got very busy on the Saturday with 30-40 min queues for some of the lifts. Good snow conditions all week in Dec.

Great resort and great value! Huge amount of skiing area available for all levels.
Need to be able to do reds to get back to the ski resort however!

We went for a week and had a guide/instructor in the mornings on the first 3 days to get to know the mountain. Really nice atmosphere in the whole resort and great variety of terrain - would recommend.

We had a great trip with friends. Lots of cheap pints of the runs and great vibes. We stayed near the ski lift and it didn’t cost the earth.

Sauze is the perfect budget-friendly ski resort for a week long holiday. It is super well connected to other resorts and very easy to ski between Italy and France (your lift pass is also valid for one day of skiing in Montgenevre, France). Majority of pistes are marked red and blue, with a few blacks dotted around, so it is well suited to intermediate and advanced skiers. (I would not recommend the resort for snowboarders due to lots of cat tracks).
Great restaurants and bars in the village, though a little quiet early in the season. Would certainly return!

I would recommend Soux-de-Loux to anyone as I had a great time on my own. Slopes were excellent, so was Apri Ski. The hotel was OK, and had a boot and ski facility which was good. Private tuition was also 1st class. Would recommend to skiers and snowboarders as I met both lots who I ended up skiing with.

I have been skiing all my life and this place has been my favourite. If you want to experience a true ski trip. Sauze Doulx is the place to be!

Nice quiet resort with quite a lot of choice, aprez bars were nice just very quiet, perhaps we went at a quiet time of year. Lifts smooth and efficient. Good conditions.

Nice town and good runs, great atmosphere. The resort is well connected in the Via Lattea/Milky Way and there are great bars and restaurants on the slopes. I really enjoyed it

Lovely sauze. Highly recommend staying on the old town if you can. Loads of great restaurants and bars. Easy walk to ski lifts. Super friendly locals!

Amazing place great staff very helpful great food best memories with my family highly recommend with family’s

Lots of different runs, all difficulty types so could never be bored. Nice bars as well. Stayed at a place where you can ski in and ski out so very easy. Lifts always modern, not too busy

Great for intermediate skiers with a variety of blue/red and black runs. Visitors later in the year can have lower snow levels and be icy.

The resort, locals, hospitality and value are all great but it is let down by poor quality lifts snd lack of investment. It boasts of a big ski area, but this is accessed by an old slow 2 man lift which is a bottleneck. You will want to do this though because the slopes the resort side ot the hill arnt enough. Getting back has a gondola but then heres the rub. Getting down is either a blue around the mountain top which is narrow, dangerous and busy. The option, a black which isn't the easiest either. For this reason i wont go back until they sort out this obvious weakness and wouldn't recommend it to non confident skiers.

Great town, bars, restaurants, good value for money - balances fun, charm and great skiing with access to a huge ski area

Went with three good friends, shared a room in a b&b style place. Was in a good location - about 5min walk to the slopes, but centre of town for bars and restaurants. Plenty of restaurant choice of an evening, although several of the more popular places we needed to book ahead.
Skiing was a lot of fun, there was a good dump of snow on our first day so powder and off piste were excellent. The groomed runs were well looked after and I particularly enjoyed the tree-lined runs and popping off the edge of the trails to play in amongst the trees. The final run down to resort did get pretty chopped up and messy by the end of the day and was often really busy on the way down. We would usually stop at a bar at a mid point and have a drink and snack for a bit to let the majority of the crowds disperse. The bottom of the run could get pretty slushy by the end of the day, but unsurprising given we were there in March.
Connections to the adjoining resorts were mostly open making it a really decent sized area to ski. Prices were much cheaper than France or Switzerland and the airport transfer time was good especially as we were cramming our trip into 5 days. Given the short transfer we were able to leave from the UK in the early hours and ski on arrival day as well as skiing until mid afternoon on day 5 before heading to the airport and being back home late at night.
Would definitely ski Sauze again.

Sauze is fine if you don't mind antiquated lifts, lots of runs closed & poor snow management. Been twice in last few years but won't be back unless they invest to make significant improvements. Its a shame as town is nice with good hotels, food & apres ski.

Not much snow so there were only a few runs open.
I was very disappointed with the snow park, it was really hard to find and get to and when you got there there were only a few features and some of them were even closed.

Sauze is by no means perfect. The lifts are a bit slow, the links over to other ski areas can be affected by wind and the snow conditions are very. But everything else you would want from a ski holiday is very good. Food, drink, friendly people. A great atmosphere keeps me going back year after year.
