 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hiya just looking for any recommendations or information We have been looking at Sauze d'Oulx for CHristmas this year. Family of 2 adults and 2 children. We quite like the Hotel Splendid, I am aware of the hike uphill on arrival  but was wondering how far away the ski schools etc are
Thanks

You have to walk from the coach and back when you keave, but to get to piste From the hotel you walk accross the road and though what looks like a back garden, this is only about 50 metres, and you are then on the piste, you then ski down to the lift, ...on your way back make sure you remember where to stop.... If you have young kids then going down into the village for beer might not be a plan, the hotel bar is good for families, the food is not fantastic but its ok. ... Take your boots upto the room as there is no boot warming in the ski storage area..
Might not be a lot of snow there at xmas though...

There was none there last Christmas and new year. Chantemerle (which is close part of the Briancon area and) despite no snow had 40kms of piste open for the Christmas New Year.

Thanks for the replies. Yes I'm a little worried about lack of snow but It's the only week we can holiday together so can't change the date unfortunately. We are looking at Sestriere region too. Thanks

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Sestriere is a higher resort and having stayed at both resorts at different times, the conditions have always been better each time in Sestriere. Although I like the village better in Sauze at that time of year I'd opt for higher ground.
Last time we stayed at Sauze (with kids) we stayed at Hotel Hermitage which was a great location for ski to door - conditions permitting and if kids can ski red slopes.

IMO the only Hotel worth considering in Sauze is the Stella Alpina.
Location is the best in town with an even better service from the owners.

How about the Orso Bianco up the slopes in Sportinia? It is where the ski school meets and very reasonable. If you dont mind being out of the village- though the hotel and next door should be full so there will be people about- it is perfect. Failing that i highly recommend Hotel Sauze. The reviews are excellent and the manager Francesco is so helpful. It may be late to get decent diy flights but it is worth speaking to him before booking with a TO. Hope this helps
