Popular ski resort reviews

Lively apres-ski atmosphere in comparison to some other French resorts and really pretty village centre.Good choice of bars & restaurants (reasonable prices). Portes du Soleil goes without saying that the skiing was superb although snow a bit thin here and there. Morzine is a very Brit friendly resort so this is something to consider if you want to get away for a real change of scenery!

Most runs in Sauze are classified as red (although some will seem more like blacks) and are fairly short, with the exception of run 12 - so youll probably ski the same ones over and over again. Once youve mastered the area you can venture out towards Sestriere or Montgenevre/Claviere in the other direction. With a Vialattea pass youll have access to 400km of interlinked pistes so there is huge area to explore!

Sauze d’Oulx sits on a sloping mountain shelf facing north-west to the mountains b*ing France. It is a mid-sized resort. The Via Lattea or Milky Way lift pass covers not only next-door Sestriere and Sansicario, easily reached by lift and piste, but also the more remote slopes of Claviere and Montgenevre. Sauze has an arratic snow record and far from comprehensive snowmaking system.
