New ski lifts for 09/10

By James Hanson

A new chair lift is being installed and will be open for the beginning of the 09/10 ski season that will link the back bowl area of Sauze to the top of Fraiteve. This will enable skiers and boarders to get to Sansicario and beyond without having to rely on the Rio Nero drag or �The dog leg drag� as its known locally.

At the finish point of the new lift you get fantastic views of the full extent of the Milky Way ski area. The furthest skiable point is Montgenevre in France however the views go on beyond that towards Briancon which is close to Serre Chevalier making this a great spot to take out your cameras!

For those who are familier with the bowl area you will also be aware of the double drag lift that is the only link from the bottom of the bowl back to Sauze. At the end of the day this can be somewhat of a bottle kneck and also can strike fear into those that are less then comfortable on drags. Fear not for this is also being replaced this year by a chair lift!

Easy to use website and good prices. James was very helpful on the phone. Ski hire shop provided good and rapid service

G. Humphries

We are a family of 6 and James and Sinead at Sauzeonline.com were brilliant in organising skis, lessons and restaurants. Really helpful and friendly - a pleasure to deal with. We plan to come back next year using Sauzeonline for everything.

D. Bonfield

Used Sauzeonline for our airport transfer and ski hire. The service they provided was excellent. Could not have been more helpful replying to many emails due to questions on travel due to Covid. The transfer service was fantastic and the hire shop very helpful. Thankyou for making our holiday special.

C. Knowles

The transfers we booked were professional and hassle free notwithstanding our late arrival. For the return we were greeted on time with great service. The ski hire was also of excellent quality.

A. McCormick

Great service from James prior to arriving. Really went above and beyond. The rental shop was ideally situated at the bottom of the lift. Can't wait to return!
