@@Sauzeonline just left and definitely will never return the maintenance of the slopes is the worst I’ve ever experienced. One of the local bar owners told me to complain directly to the lift company as the general maintenance of the resort has been steadily deteriorating over the last few years . Unbiased review .
@@justinsherfield5785as I said at the start of the video, last week was tough. With the links shut everyone was funnelled down the same lower slopes which haven’t the best coverage. Once things opened up though it was a different story. I’m just pointing out that it’s unfair to say that there is ice everywhere.
I was here early Jan 24 and I will not go back. The lifts are very slow - well under the needed capacity. One of the main lifts is a two seater with huge queues.
A am ceoliac and have been to Suaze 3 times. I can't remember anywhere specific, but it wasn't a problem and I ate well each time. The only issue is if you want a quick snack at lunctime, rather than a full meal, then you are a bit limited. The shops sell GF bread, so I tend to make sandwiches. So don't worry and enjoy your skiing and apres ski.
Hi James and Sinead, Great information from your channel. My son and I are intermediates/advanced skiers who don't stop much arriving Sestriere but would prefer to start our week in the easier areas and progress to the harder parts if possible. Are there any areas in Vialattea easier than others and can you recommend an order to cover them in days out? (possibly a similar question to below). Also school holiday time in UK for some w/c 11th Feb, would any areas be quieter than others? Many thanks Matt
Hello James and Sinead , out on Sunday 28th with my mate Colin , love the videos and wine of the week report too 😂, hopefully see you on the slopes , best wishes, Stu ⛷️⛷️⛷️
Hello James & Sinead, thanks for your very helpful videos which we've been watching closely! I have a couple of questions ahead of our trip next week: - How long does it take to ski to Monginevro from Sestriere, including lift/gondola times? We are two experienced and fairly quick skiers - What areas in the Vialattea are only opened on the weekend and are they worth visiting? Thank you! Will
Great reports, thanks both - I'm looking forward to getting out to Sauze soon! I have a little query I hope you may be able to help with. Looking at the Sestriere Tapetti Jolly webcam; there seems to be some sort of event going on, with loads of ski/snowboard stands... I wonder if you know what this is and how long it's going on for? I can't find any info online! Thanks, Joe.
Coming out later in the season. Agree that black 21 is the best run, but are there any plans to replace the buttons with a chairlift? They dampen an otherwise amazing run.
Hi guys, does Sauze have a ski nursery for 3 year olds? We've seen some resorts in france have this where within the nursery they learn to ski, play in the snow etc. Planning 2025 holiday with very little ones
Hi James and Sinead We're arriving in Club Med Pragelato Sestriere on the 28th Jan - could you tell us if the runs down to club med are all open and what the conditions are like? Thank you and love the videos. Gary & Fiona
Good morning! We’re heading to Sauze in a few weeks time for our second ski trip, first was in Val thorens last year and we only managed green and blue runs but notice they’re mainly red in Sauze. We were wondering how the grading of runs in Italy is, compared France? Thank you! Tom and Sarah
I was there last week and the runs were great - I would say the red runs are similar to France and maybe a bit steeper in places - ski lifts are a lot faster and not as modern as France - must say - I prefer Italy though - have a good week
Hi James & Sinead We're coming to Sauze on the 28th Jan with Neilson and looking forward to bumping into you both. Can't wait to feed my white powder addiction and hubby is looking forward to wine of the week 😂 kind regards Lyn and Andy - Shropshire. 🎿
Hi James & Sinead. 4 welsh boys are coming sauze on the 24th... curious question. One cannot ski down into sauze town on a blue can they? All are red slopes? 2 of the boys are beginners 😅😅. Cheers
Morning. My name is Ashley from Torquay, and I'm coming out to sauze d'oulx on Sunday 28th with Nick, Elysia, and Grant. Could you please wish Nick a happy 60th birthday for the 1st of Feb while we're on holiday. A shout-out would make his birthday. Many thanks xx
Chairlift Chit Chat (no question really😂) We arrive on the 28th, looking forward to catching you guys on the mountain and may even join you for wine of the week 🤙 Adam and Greg the Gladiator
With the "warm" weather this upcoming im a little bit curious about how the condition are or will be on top of the mountain range. On Webcams I see a fair bit of snow melted away and exposing the ground. Do you guys have any info about that?@@Sinead-sauzeonline
Hi James and Sinead, thank you for all the information you provide. My daughter and I will be staying in Sauze late February. We are both good skiers. Our plan is to ski 4 days in total. How easy/difficult is it to get from Sauze to MontGenevre (and back). Would you ski there and back, or would you take some sort of transportation (we will have a car). I guess I am asking about the ease/difficulty of exploring the entire ski area. What kind of lift ticket should we get (International/local?). Thanks
We've seen the skiing grannies several times over the last two days. Just a condition report of my own (feel free to share) - conditions were good and runs fairly empty in Clavier. Gondola and chairlift running across cessana, but have to get chairlift down coming back. Definitely worth a trip across. (Didn't make it all the way to Montgenevre, took a lot of time to get over there)
Hi! Getting the boys, from Sweden, together and going over to Sauze last week of march. We need a good place to get some nice beers in the slopes. Any tips for us? Thanks a lot for the reports 🇸🇪🤩
Any of the bars in Sportinia are usually busy. Bar Clotes at the end of the day is a good spot to watch the sun set. The restaurant at the bottom of the Fraiteve drags in SanSicario offers fantastic views.
Hi James and Sinead. I have been aware of your reports for a while now and enjoy your content. I am due to take a school group to Sestriere this Easter and need some help/info about transportation between the villages. I am wanting to take my kids to the Laser Tag at the Olympic Centre but need an affordable way of getting there. The public bus is not regular enough, I believe. So I am trying to find a company that could ferry us by minibus. Ideally trying to get 17 on a bus. Can you help? Cheers Lee Duckett @bishopwordsworth's school
Hi Lee - do you have the addresses of where you are staying and where the Laser Tag is (I thought it was just a summer activity at the Villagio Olimpico?!?!) Sestriere itself is not that big and most things are walking distance.
Wine of the week was delicious 😊 and the skiing Grannies just made the week complete 😂 Thank you
The Skiing Grannies😂 brilliant
Fancy bumping into the Monty Python team outside Soleil Boeuf! Nice one ladies, Eric Idle would be proud!
Ice everywhere slopes not looked after at all well. Head over to montgeneve in France it’s like the difference between night and day 😢
“Ice everywhere” you sure you’re in Sauze?

Coming out tomorrow, first time at Sauze, really looking forward to it after seeing your channel, thanks guys.
what is the easiest way to get back into town for a beginner, ive been told to avoid the blue into the bowl?

CLCC Q looks like some warm weather... Coming out 4th Feb what are the conditions likely to be?
I'm out there the same week. Getting worried about the weather. 10c and sunshine forecast for the next month at least!....

Hi Joe, I think it is a ski testing fair - possibly from Rossignol. They set up tents and let local ski clubs and athlletes test out new equipment.
Do you have any recomendation on offpist forest skiing

Go by car very quick and easy drive. Takes way too long via the lifts. It’s fantastic over there in comparison.

Oh 9 here coming on 28th 😊
How are the runs 41 and 40 down to lacomba
Run 41 from the top of the Bourget drag is lovely. I am not sure where run 40 is!
Can you show me how to do a flat 360 spin please
See you Sunday guys 🫡
Omg, fabulous Nanas. We has the benefit of several Donald Trumps last year😅
Highly recommended Suugo’s in town for the Coeliac guy.
Whole menu can be served gluten free 🤌
