Hotel Avalanche (1)
Artists' Impression, Exterior

The Hotel Avalanche is right next to the Clotes chair lift and near the town centre. If you love your après and skiing right back to the hotel then this is definitely the hotel for you. The hotel's new renovations are going to give it a cosy Alpine feel. You'll be completely surrounded by mountains and slopes, ideal if you want to immerse yourself in the full ski experience.

If you're having a no-ski day, or just need to wind down after an active morning, the spa is the place to be. Check out the spa in their sister hotel, Hotel La Torre which has all the classic spa facilities, including a sauna, steam room and a hot tub (payable locally). You'll come back feeling energised and ready for your next day on the slopes!

Breakfast and dinner are not taken in the Hotel Avalanche. Breakfast will be served in the nearby Clotes hotel, just a short walk from the hotel. Dinner will be a three course meal at the nearby La Grangia restaurant. La Grangia has a really homely atmosphere and serves delicious Italian food; ideal after an active day on the slopes. It also has one of the biggest wine collections in the Alps!

Please note that exterior photos are artists' impressions of how it will look once renovated.

Sauze d'Oulx

Sauze d'Oulx is a vibrant resort with a lively après scene that has long appealed to British visitors. The resort offers plentiful tree-lined skiing and wide open, cruising that is ideal for intermediate skiers and improving beginners. The extensive lift system has made access to the 400km of the Milky Way ski area on-piste skiing simple and efficient.

The Sauze pistes are spread across a north and west facing, snow bowl which is great at preserving snow conditions, making the resort perfect for sampling powder skiing. A definite highlight is the 1300m descent from the top of Monte Fraiteve, skiing all the way to the valley floor at Jovenceaux.

Beyond Sauze the Milky Way ski area extends all the way to the high altitude resort of Sestriere, past Cesana towards the charming village of Claviere and across the French border to the iconic resort of Montgenèvre. The Milky Way offers a huge variety of skiing and snowboarding, perfect for the discerning wintersports enthusiast.

As well as excellent skiing, the old centre of the mountain village, with its cobbled streets, offers an attractive escape from the mountain when the ski legs start to get sore. This bustling resort is home to a great variety of pubs, bars, and restaurants all of which contribute to the lively, welcoming atmosphere.

Sauze’s reputation for offering reasonably priced food and drink is justified and has helped cement its reputation as a popular après destination. And the fabulous range of restaurants and pizzerias, both on and off the mountain, offer delicious Italian food that caters for all tastes.
