2nd review of Edelweiss - 2015/16 season
Reviewed 10 Jun 2016
A second review following our return to the Edelweiss - A British operator have taken over the hotel now, and the food is much better. There’s more meat and the standard of beef and pork is better. They also have more salads which we like, some people (including myself) like to have greens and we were really happy with the amount and quality available.
Beforehand we thought it was becoming more boutique-y, with Italians coming and going for a few days at a time. Now it’s basically British with guests booking full weeks, which has changed the atmosphere - a slight downside.
We’ve been lucky in the past when it came to the weather, but the conditions weren’t good this time around. There wasn’t much snow in Europe at the time, and the area was running on artificial snow. They just had one big 4km slope open. They did bus us round to other resorts, and we still managed to ski every day, so it didn’t spoil our holiday.
First ski holiday
Reviewed 31 May 2016
This was our first time skiing, it was an experience! The hotel was alright. The food was lovely, a mixture of different dishes that you could tell were homemade and were well presented. Our bedroom was fine, slightly on the small side but we just wanted somewhere to rest our heads at the end of the day. The lounge area wasn’t big enough for the number of rooms the hotel had, so there wasn’t seating for all guests there (but there was plenty of space in the dining room).
We went towards the end of the season so we couldn’t ski to the lift that was quite close to the hotel, which made it difficult! On the first couple of days we walked without skis, then the shuttle took us.
My advice would be that this isn’t a holiday for beginners in any way, shape or form. When you take the ski lift that takes you to the top, you physically have to ski down to the ski school. More advanced skiers would be fine, but not beginners!
great potential but food severely lacking

The location is great, rooms are small but clean. However the food completely let this place down.
The food whilst we were there was atrocious; tiny portions of flavour less food with dessert two of the nights being a piece of fruit! Were still in the process of claiming compensation as it was shocking, be warned!! Oh and you have to pay extra for the jacuzzi!
Absolutely brilliant!

We went as a family and it was absolutely brilliant for us. We had a very positive experience, that’s why we came back to Sauze again. The family that run the hotel are very friendly. One of the best things about the hotel is the closeness to the piste. It’s about 50 meters from the hotel, you can ski down to the lifts from there. The location is quiet, it’s in a hamlet away from the main town but it’s not far from the centre. The food at the hotel, for that level of holiday, is very good. The children liked it too. It’s Italian family food really, lots of pasta, that sort of thing. The hotel is very good value; what you get for what you pay for is excellent.
