Hotel Assietta is a popular, family-run hotel in the heart of Sauze d’Oulx’s historic centre, just a three-minute walk from the Clotes lift. It’s perfectly placed for easy slope access and exploring the town’s shops, bars and restaurants. The hotel has a friendly, informal feel and a lively après atmosphere. Its sunny outdoor terrace is a great spot for post-ski drinks, and the bar hosts weekly live DJ sets for a fun start to your evening. For something more relaxed, you can request a local wine tasting and sample some of the region’s best bottles (payable locally). It’s a great-value base with a sociable vibe and ideal central location.

Park Hotel Gran Bosco is a peaceful, family-run hotel in Sauze d’Oulx, just 900 metres from the resort centre. It’s known for its fantastic mountain views, friendly service, and great value, with many guests returning year after year. A free shuttle runs daily from 8am to midnight, making it easy to reach the slopes or explore the town. After skiing, relax with a drink at the bar or enjoy the sunset from the panoramic terrace. Each day starts with a buffet breakfast and ends with a tasty four-course dinner. With traditional Alpine décor and a welcoming atmosphere, it’s a perfect base for a relaxed ski break.

The Hotel Del Clos is a fantastic example of what a ski hotel should be. The wooden clad and carved walls invite you in and warm you up straight away. There's a tremendous feeling of space as the wide corridors guide you to the many chill-out areas. The bar and lounge area offer plenty of options to relax and refuel. They also become a real focal point during après-ski - as does the huge sun-terrace. It's worth grabbing your drink and a seat to watch the sunset turn the slopes of El Tarter a delicious orange. Families will love the kids' clubs which offer childcare for children from 4 months right up to pre-teen 12-year-olds. Our experienced nannies make sure they're well looked after with plenty to keep them happy and stimulated. It's only 350m to the lifts, and you have a choice of where to leave your skis or boards at night. There's plenty of space at the hotel in the heated kit storage room (including boot warmers for a toasty start to your day), or there are storage lockers in Nordic Ski Hire (by the lifts) available for a weekly charge.

The Casale is incredibly popular with guests - a nice mix of a traditional chalet with the size and facilities (i.e. a bar) of a small hotel. This creates a nice buzz around the chalet at après-ski, when the bar is open and the drinks are flowing. The Casale has been lovingly converted from an old barn. Many of the original beams have been kept which gives a wonderful warm feel to the place. The large dining room is equally charming, with its long tables for chalet-style meals and more wooden rafters adding to the warming feel. Each of the bedrooms is a really good size, with plenty of light and space to make you feel right at home. They all have an ensuite with shower, WC and a small selection of complimentary toiletries in case you forget your own. This really is an ideal choice for couples or groups of friends looking for a home-from-home on their ski holiday.

Hotel La Tovière style and luxury are combined with our professional ski guiding service and exceptional hospitality to ensure a truly memorable ski holiday. La Tovière is a wonderful example of craftsmanship and design, created with natural textures of aged wood and local stone. With a backdrop of snowy trees and towering rock faces, the hotel seamlessly complements its surroundings right opposite the slopes of La Daille. The funicular and La Daille gondola are just across the road from the hotel for high-speed access into the heart of the world-class Val d’Isère-Tignes ski area.

Hotel Villa Cary is a small, family-run hotel with a warm and friendly atmosphere geared towards couples. Located in the centre of Sauze, you have great access to the resort amenities and the Milky Way Ski Area. It's located on Sauze d'Oulx's main square just five minutes from the Clotes chairlift - a prime position for hitting the slopes. From the top of Clotes, you have access to a range of red runs and can easily make your way upto the nearby resorts of Sestriere and Claviere before exploring the French side of the ski area over in Montgenevre.

Hotel Le Menuire & Spa sits at the heart of the world-class 600km Three Valleys ski area in the resort of Les Menuires. The mountain style and warm, cosy atmosphere make you feel at home from the minute you arrive. You’re surrounded by far-reaching views of the Three Valleys peaks, and the sunsets are not to be missed. The wonderful spa has an impressive adventure pool and wellness area for some après relaxation. After your day on the seemingly endless slopes, head back and spend an afternoon indulging in the adventure pool. You can lose hours in there as it has jet beds with views of La Masse, a lazy river and even a waterfall. Afterwards, try the sauna and treat yourself to a bit of pampering with a massage or beauty treatment.

Chalet Catherine offers a prime ski-in/ski-out location next to the Tufs lift, the ski school meeting point, and across the piste from the lively centre of Val Claret. It's also a short ski down a blue run from the Bollin-Fresses lift and the Grand Motte Funicular. Chalet Catherine presents high-quality fixtures fitted with the needs of modern-day skiers in mind. The use of exposed wood adds a characterful nod to the traditional Savoyard style of this stunning accommodation.

Chalet Tolima is a beautiful free-standing chalet discretely located on the main road into Val d’Isere.
