About the area

Le Sauze 1400 and Le Super-Sauze 1700 share 53 km of pistes in France's Southern Alps, and the split is friendly to those still learning: 43% of the runs are green or blue, about 23 km in total, with 17 short easy runs sitting right next to a lift base. Beginners get a clear yes. Families should note there is only one magic carpet for first steps. Experts get a qualified yes: 12 km, 23% of the terrain, is black, expert or freeride, including 10 km of marked freeride, but the longest vertical on a single run is 496 m.

The area runs from 1374 m up to 2388 m and is served by 21 lifts, mostly surface: 17 platters, 3 chairlifts and 1 magic carpet. Red terrain is the largest single category at 18 km, and the longest run measures just over 3 km.
