Hôtel l'Équipe
In Le Sauze, this mountain hotel combines rooms overlooking the slopes or valley, ski-to-door access and a restaurant serving French cuisine.
Hôtel l'Équipe is a 2-star hotel in Le Sauze, in the Ubaye Valley, with ski-to-door access in winter. Built in the 1950s, it retains a chalet style and vintage atmosphere rather than a contemporary design.

The rooms, with private bathrooms and flat-screen TVs, accommodate solo travellers, couples and families. Several categories have a balcony or mountain views; room sizes range from 14 to 28 m². The hotel has no lift and the rooms are carpeted. Free private parking is available on site. The restaurant serves traditional French cuisine and closes during the summer; breakfast is served as a continental or buffet option. Pets may be allowed under certain conditions, subject to prior request.
In winter, the nearest ski lift is 100 m away. When the snow gives way to warmer weather, hiking trails and mountain biking routes start from the hotel. Barcelonnette, 6 km away, adds shops and the heritage of the valley to your stay.

Location & what to see
Le Sauze is a mountain resort in the Ubaye Valley, in the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence. The village and slopes extend across an Alpine landscape of forests, peaks and open views over the valley. In winter, stays revolve around skiing and the ski lifts; in warmer weather, the trails draw walkers and mountain bikers. The atmosphere suits travellers looking for outdoor activities and a mountain setting rather than an urban stopover.
The ski resort is spread around several lifts, including Savonette 1, 140 m from the hotel. Saint-Pierre-et-Saint-Paul Church is in the area, while Barcelonnette, 6 km away, is the main town in the valley. Its museum explores local history and the town's links with Mexico; Parc de la Sapinière offers space for a walk. Barcelonnette's shops and services in the valley can be reached by car. The hotel has free private parking, useful for exploring the surrounding area.
In winter, the slopes and ski-to-door access set the pace of the day; the nearby lifts make early starts easier. From late spring to autumn, hiking and cycling routes offer a different way to explore the landscape. A trip to Barcelonnette can round out a day in the mountains with a museum visit and a walk around the town. For longer nature outings, Mercantour National Park offers high-mountain scenery and hiking routes. Conditions vary with altitude and season: summer activities suit snow-free days, while winter is devoted to snow sports.
