So what's it like?
An ideal resort for a fun packed holiday
Arguably the best loved ski resort in the whole of Italy, Sauze's main slopes are scattered along a broad bowl above the resort, surrounded by woodland. The resort offers excellent skiing for novices, intermediates and experts alike. An efficient link to Sansicario and Sestriere installed following significant investment after the Winter Olympics in 2006 means you now get even more mileage out of your lift pass. The variety of terrain to cover, along with the famous après ski scene have put Sauze firmly on the map as the coolest place to head this winter. An efficient free ski bus service runs around the village, carrying skiers up to the Clotes and Sportinia lifts Transfer coaches are not permitted in the resort centre. Luggage is transported to the hotels and guests walk through the village to their accommodation.
Ski information
Beginners
The village nursery slope is at the foot of the Clotes chairlift but the main area which most beginners will use is at Sportinia, a wide open plateau also with easy runs.
Intermediates
The parallel Rocce Nere chairlifts extend from Sportinia to Monte Triplex and from the top there is a vast choice of red runs linking the Monte Triplex area with Rocce Nere. In addition, the Rio Nero drag lift is the link lift to Sansicario leading on to the famous Milky Way system covering Sestriere, Sansicario, Cesena and Claviere.
Advanced
The Moncrons area will be a challenge for better skiers and the Genevris area also offers off-piste possibilities. Cross over to Sestriere and Sansicario with the Basset 4-seater chairlift for a whizz down the World Championship Kandahar run in Sestriere and some long challenging red runs in Sansicario.
