Sauze d’Oulx is one of the larger and more popular resorts of the Milky Way. The ski area has a huge 400km of pistes and links a range of resorts including Sauze d'Oulx, Sestriere, Sansicario and Claviere in Italy, and Montgenèvre in France, meaning you could ski two countries in one day! There is an excellent range for all abilities with a wide variety of pistes including some tree-lined.
Hotel Savoia Debili
Set in the centre of Sauze d'Oulx, the Savoia Debili is a historic family-run hotel. It features a restaurant serving traditional cuisine from Piedmont, and offers free access to its gym.
Rooms have classic décor and wooden furniture. They include a TV and a bathroom with shower and hairdryer. Floors can be carpeted, tiled or wooden.
Hotel Savoia Debili features a wellness centre with Turkish bath, sauna and hot tub. Its reception is open 24 hours a day.
The property is only 50 yards from the Les Clotes ski lift.
Meals
Full board is included featuring buffet breakfast, lunch, and a three course evening meal.
Skiing Lessons
Children will have four hours of tuition each day. Two hours in the morning and two hours in the afternoon. Adults will have two hours of tuition available to them each morning.
After skiing
When skiing finishes for the day, everyone changes out of their skiing clothes and there comes the moment for pocket money! Then most people take the opportunity to practise their French in the local shops just outside the hotel by going off in groups. After skiing or supper there is an organised activity such as swimming in the heated pool, bum boarding, karaoke, a quiz evening or our own talent show.

WHAT IS NOT COVERED
Almost everything is included; you need only budget for:
pocket money (approximately €70 )
The first £50 of any insurance claim.
Single room supplement (£130 – subject to availability)
If you wish to upgrade your ski equipment this can be arranged. The price will depend on the package you choose.
PAYMENT, DEPOSITS AND CANCELLATIONS:
Deposits of £250 per person are due on booking. The balance is due early December 2019.
CANCELLATION charges are shown below.
Please note that once the deposit has been paid over to Select there is no automatic return of deposit. IF we are able to find a substitute, there is a £50 charge but other deposits paid are refunded; if we can't find a substitute, the deposit is lost. Non-Brockhurst/Marlston House substitutes are not normally acceptable.
Charges (assuming a substitute is found):
Until 1st December 2019 £50
December 2019 ....loss of deposit;
then sliding scale to within 2 weeks of the holiday when 90% of all monies paid is lost.
Note, however, that in some cases, e.g. medical, it is possible to claim on the insurance with the loss of just a £50 excess.
If I am unable to find a Brockhurst substitute by December 2019 the whole deposit will be lost.
Form 7 and 8 pupils are allowed to attend if a parent is also coming on the holiday.
ADULT numbers will be limited
NON-BROCKHURST/MARLSTON BROTHERS AND SISTERS are most welcome but can only be permitted if a parent is also coming on the holiday.
CHILDREN UNDER 7 are not usually accepted in Ski School unless we have a small group of them. They will usually need private tuition or kindergarten (which of course is extra to the cost of the holiday).
Value for money? Skiing is expensive, but if you compare travel agent prices, this holiday represents extremely good value for money. And note that, apart from spending money, everything is included!
