With 400km of linked slopes to discover in the Milky Way, Sauze is a top pick for intermediates looking to push their skills. The ski area offers everything from picturesque, tree-lined runs to broad, high-altitude pistes – and you can even tick off two countries in one holiday by hopping over to the connected resort of Montgenèvre in France.
Steeped in tradition and full of charm, the resort centre is a maze of cobbled lanes and old stone-roofed buildings. Once known for its wild après scene in the 1980s, Sauze now strikes a balance between lively nightlife and a more laid-back, family-friendly vibe. Enjoy happy hour deals in one of the buzzing pubs, or experience authentic Italian culture over a glass of local red in a snug cellar bar. When it comes to staying here, you’ll find accommodation right in the heart of the action, as well as quiet hotels and apartments nestled among the trees on the resort’s edge – perfect for those after a more tranquil base.
