Has anyone used the sauzeonline.com website to book skis/passes/lessons. I just want to know if it is reliable. I can't find any reviews to make a judgment on it

cheers

Hi James

More of a surprise than anything else.

Your prices for equipment hire are very good. Are you still going to offer lift passes? I like to try and source all my goods from one place.

cheers

Hi Bill, You can't pay for your ski passes online unfortunately however if you were to book equipment rental then the shop that you collect your skis/boards from is on top of the lift ticket office so in effect everything is in one place.

I'll be in resort if you would like me to meet you when you arrive and I can take you get everything sorted.

If you were to book equipment then please enter the first day on the slopes as your start date not the date you arrive in resort. You can then collect your equipment from 4pm onwards the day before so you're ready to hit the slopes nice and early the following day. Hope that makes sense :)

Just let me know if you need anything else. You can always email me at james@sauzeonline.com

Hi James

ok, that's not a problem. We were in sauze last year with crystal so we know our way around. We are staying at the Appartamenti Besson do you think this is a good choice, we cant find any reviews for this accommodation.

cheers

I have used the above web site to book ski hire for some of my party last season.
No problems at all.
Hire shop literally at the base of the ski lift (Clotes) where you can buy your passes at the window.

I can't really pass comment on those apartments as I've not seen them, sorry. From the information I've seen on the web I'm sure you wont have a problem. Bessons own a few businesses in resort and they normally come well recommended.

Andy - Thanks for adding your comment.

Hi James,

Just a couple of questions if I may?

I am looking at booking Sauze for 13th Jan, the deal is staying at Relais de Alpes. Do you have any feedback on this place? How close to the lifts is it? Some people say the walk to the lifts in horrendous, whilst others say it's not too bad. Any information would be greatly appreciated!! :-)

Are the snow conditions likely to be ok at this time, with the resort being lower(ish) than some of the French resorts?

Many thanks in advance.

Hi Blackpool-Skier,

We've been to Sauze a couple of times so can answer your question about the Relais de Alpes. The hotel is pretty central within the village and is about 2 minutes walk (on the flat) to the ski bus stop. The Clotes lift is then ~5-10 minutes walk up a hill. Sportinia is miles away and there's no way I'd walk it in ski boots, up or down. Personally I would get the bus to Sportinia on a morning and ski down to Clotes and walk home on an evening. Some people have mentioned that the busses are unreliable but we never had to wait more than 5 minutes. The bus pass used to be 5 euros per person per week but this may have changed. There is also the option the leave skis and boots at the base of Clotes or the top of the Soprtinia chair lift. Storage at Sportinia wasn't cheap - no idea about Clotes.

We went in early January both times and had good snow the first year and amazing conditions the second. We went for a fortnight and had a week of constant snow (think waist high powder) followed by clear blue skies and sunshine. However the snow record can be erratic so it isn't always possible to ski back to the village. However, you can take the chair lift down from Sportinia so this isn't a problem.

The hotel itself seems nice however I've only been in for a drink and to watch ski school videos. There is a bar which is part of the hotel which could get quite lively - I've no idea what their sound proofing is like. We stayed at the Gran Baita which I can thoroughly recommend.

Hope you have a great time - would love to go back :D

Hi Lynn D,

Thanks for that, a really conclusive write up and very informative too!

Due to some of our group dragging their heals, we have miised out on the original deal for Sauze and have instead booked to go to Alpe D'Huez.

I really want to try Italy in the future though!

Thanks.
