Chalet La Petitta

Catered chalet La Petitta is located in Jouvenceaux, just outside Sauze d’Oulx in the Via Lattea ski area. Skiing in Italy means long prepared slopes, nice Italian cappuccino and lunches in one the many mountain restaurants and a friendly and welcoming atmosphere. La dolce (ski) vita!

Chalet La Petitta is located in the centre of the small town Jouvenceaux (1200 m), 1500 m from lively Sauze d’Oulx. There are two bars/restaurants close to the chalet to have a drink after skiing. Sauze d’Oulx is famous for its apres-ski, you can take a free bus (until 6 pm) or taxi. Jouvenceaux is an authentic town with renovated houses and small streets. In the middle of all this is Chalet La Pettita located, right at a little square with a fountain. The ski lift is only 150 meters away from the chalet, no waiting in line. The slope that brings you back to Jouvenceaux is maintained with snow machines and should be no problem for intermediate skiers. Beginners can take the ski lift back to the chalet.

Chalet La Petitta is unique due to its on-site restaurant (the cave). On one side there is a comfortable lounge, on the other side the dining area. There are enough dining tables and for bigger groups, we can put the tables together. The ambience is rustic and authentic (13th/ 14th century). The chalet staff will serve breakfast, afternoon tea and dinner here.

Jean-Paul March 2020

We stayed in Chalet La Petitta with a group of skiers beginning of March 2020. The chalet is very cozy with a nice bar to come together and meet other guests. The ski lift is within walking distance. The sleeping rooms are practical, with good mattresses and a convenient bathroom. The service we received from JohnJohn and Cicci was outstanding. They are a very warm couple with a clear focus to serve the guests. The variety during breakfast was more than expected. The diner was very well prepared and even during the day-off, an original meal was prepared. In summary, a very nice place to stay, to relax and to enjoy.

Caroline February 2020

We stayed at La Petitta 16-22 Feb, a group of 6 families, 12 adults, 12 kids. And what a wonderful time was had by all, for some it was their first ski trip and will be hard to beat going forward.
The position of the chalet is great, 5mins from one of the lifts (or ski back down on a moderate red). You are out of the main town but there are buses if this is important to you. We stayed in all evenings, except to visit the new Gros Wellness Spa (NB, amazing massage) so this wasn’t an issue.
The chalet itself is quaint and quirky with lovely communal areas we could relax in. The bedrooms were very clean and far roomier than I’ve experienced in the past – the kids adored their own mezzanine space.
But what really makes La Petitta special are the hosts, John john and Cicci…where do I start? They couldn’t have been more accommodating or hospitable to us. Going out of their way to make this trip special for us all. They dealt with sickness, injury, and multiple birthdays with such care, concern, and consideration. We had cake, decorations, pizza making and pancakes to give two of the kids a birthday they will NEVER forget.
In the words of Katie…..thank you so much for making this the “Best holiday EVER”

Fam. Hammer February 2020

This is a great place for a family vacation 🙂
As a group of 18 persons/4 families, we revisited La Petitta again this year, and we were not disappointed. We stayed there from Feb. 8th to 15th. It is a great place for family vacations, where the cave is used as a natural assembly point for great meals, drinks and playing games, after exploring the slopes all day. The rooms are nice and clean, and the beds are good as well. Our hosts Cicci and JohnJohn really made sure we enjoyed our stay. They are very kind and helpful – offering to buy extra supplies needed or driving us to Sauze for dinner on their weekly day off. The food was very good and plentiful, and special requests were served if we asked for it. This included birthday cakes two times during the week, and celebration of Valentine’s day.
We can warmly recommend La Petitta, hosted by Cicci and JohnJohn for your next vacation in this beautiful area.

Fam. Hennessy Janaury 2020

A group of 18 of us stayed in La Pettita from Jan 18th to 25th, 10 adults and 8 kids. We had an excellent stay – made especially outstanding from the care and attention of the hosts John-John and Cicci. The hosts could not have done more for us! And they especially adored the children – even giving them a “cooking lesson” (with cooking aprons as a present on the final day). The rooms were clean, the food was excellent, the wine and beer were plentiful, and the apres-ski snacks always hit the spot. They were also very helpful, even offering to pick us up from the larger village on the one night we ate out. The only hint for improvement was that some of the rooms were a bit too warm for some of us especially in the early hours of the morning, so I’d recommend turning down the temperature a little bit.

The chalet is also very close to the ski lift and for intermediate skiers, it is an excellent last run of the day to the bottom of the ski lift. There is also a small bar/restaurant at the bottom of that ski lift, which is very nice but it has very little room inside. Also if you have a child younger than 8 you may be able to get a significant cost reduction on the ski pass – however, you will need to bring the passport for this child.

I decided on this chalet very much on reading previous reviews here, so it is only fair that I contribute similar review back here: I would highly recommend this chalet with John-John and Cicci and would definitely consider going again.

Buckley family February 2017

We were a large group of 5 families with 10 adults and 15 children ages 7-18. We had a fantastic time at Chalet Petitta. We have stayed here once before but this time was even better. The chalet is well laid out with separate areas which could allow for some family privacy. The communal bar area is a great space. Only issue was the wifi needed more bandwidth but that might be 15 youngsters all trying to use it at once!!

Heather and Richard the hosts were fantastic. They coped with the children brilliantly and sorted two sittings for dinner. Excellent food every night, great advice when needed on skiing and other issues. They also helped us coordinate our lessons with the ski school.

Remember always end your day at the La Fontaine bar, bottom of the run with a beer or an Aperol Spritz!

Whitters family December 2016

We were 20 family members spending 2 weeks at Chalet la Petitta over Christmas and NYE. We were the first guests of the season. We took the whole chalet, and it was perfect for us, as each family/group of kids had their own room and bathroom. The bedroom/bathroom standard was absolutely fine for a mid-priced mountain accommodation, warm, comfortable, clean, with everything working (except the heater in one room the first night, which was fixed the following day). The communal dining/living room provided a warm, spacious and comfortable place to relax/eat/drink/play games together. The hosts, Heather and Richard, went above and beyond for us, there was nothing that was too much trouble for them. We found them flexible, always willing to please, great chefs, and impeccable hosts. We had some vegetarians amongst us who were really pleased with their options too. They should be commended for their work! Jouvencaux is beautiful, it’s traditional and pretty, especially in comparison to Sestriere and other purpose-built ski villages in the area. The walk to the chairlift takes 5 minutes in ski boots, is flat, and was a major convenience for us. To summarise, I can’t recommend the place enough. We would certainly not even look for another option if we were to have another family holiday again in the region, Chalet la Petitta is perfect.

Kas Berendsen, March 2016

We have greatly enjoyed our stay in chalet La Petita. The food was delicous and in general it was a very nice stay. We have been well informed and helped during our stay. The location was also perfect since it is only 100m to the lift and slope. Thank you Yorrick and Gigi.

Mark Weldon, March 2016

Just to say we had a fabulous time in Italy. Giedre and Yorick are excellent as hosts and are very talented cooks. Have posted on tripadviser and will do on zoover.com. Many thanks

Sofie Mesbach en co, April 2014

We have had a very nice holiday in chalet La Petita! We have enjoyed the atmosphere and the pampering from Caroline and Frederic. Caroline en Frederic: Again another ‘Merci’ for a great week. You really have given your best to provide us a very nice and tasty week. We have enjoyed the sun, the skiing and the ‘dolce far niente’ feeling. Also thank you for the card when arriving home, very thoughtfull.
