Avalanche - Alpine Boutique Hotel

We did think that the hotel would be finished by the time we stopped there, but this is not the case and won't be until May. We have been stopping in Sauze for many years and like to stop at different places to test them out. Two weeks prior we were in one of the ABC apartments. The employees are very friendly and make you feel welcomed and helpful, but we do know Sauze so that helps. Hence us booking on the slope refurbished hotel. They gave us a room over looking Sauze and facing the sun in the afternoon, with a balcony which was nice. But the room was very small and felt very cramped. Minor touches to detail with the cleaning:- please dust the radiator in the bathroom. However there is soap, shower gel and caps. There is a free hot drinks machine in reception which has amazing hot chocolate. It's disappointing that you have to go to Hotel Clotes next door for breakfast, but we knew what to expect as we have stopped there twice before. Get the timing right for breakfast, otherwise it gets very busy for a small area. The staff are quick at cleaning up the tables though. I would not recommend going the back way across the mud, its' a bit of a hazard, go down the end of the drive and walk a bit further. The breakfast has it's usual european average breakfast. The hotel do not have a ski room at present, so it's not a ski in and out which was disappointing considering it's on the slope. The give you a locker under the Clotes lift which you ar4e able to put skis, boots and helmet in. It's only a small walk to go to it, all good for a warm up and cool down before and after skiing. Looking forward to going back next week though with our daughter and boyfriend. Hoping that we get a bigger room! A car parking space and it's not so busy at breakfast!

Fantastic location, great staff, A brand new hotel with a few small improvements that can be made, However it is a beautiful hotel, you can walk across the slope to the chair lift in 2 mins Good value , very cozy , Will be superb when the bar /terrace is built Enjoyed our stay very much
