A new era for Sauze d’Oulx?

Last winter season will go down in Sauze d’Oulx history not only for the fantastic snow fall that pretty much gauranteed fresh powder for skiers and boarders every week but also for the slightly less publicised shift in power as far as the hotels are concerned.

Historically the tour operators have had Sauze by and large to themselves, giving the hoteliers contracts before the season started for all their beds therefore denying the independent traveller access to much of the accommodation on offer.  This changed last season and it looks likely that the change is here to stay.

Obviously you can still buy package deals to the resort and this will remain an important factor in the economic wealth of the town but with the lack of carte blanche contracts this will open Sauze up to more independantly minded skiers and boarders who aren’t necessarily looking for the box standard 1 weeks holiday. The other effect of this will be more tourists coming from outside the traditional UK/Irish base which can only add to Sauze’s already charmful character.

How will this effect Sauze? In the short term hotel owners who once relied on the safety of having the money in the bank before the season started could suffer however I predict that once they’ve found their feet and realised that there are other ‘roads to market’ then they will embrace their new found freedom.

What our customers say

01 / 05

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

Sauzeonline provide great value ski and snowboard hire from a selection of shops in good locations throughout the town – so we were able to find shops suitable for all our group (not all of whom were staying in the same place). James was also incredibly helpful in resolving an issue one of our group had with his snowboard hire [and arranged a full refund]. We would definitely recommend Sauzeonline both in terms of excellent value and service.

B. Hughes

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

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

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!
