Stunning & untouched
The 'Jewel' and the 'Best Kept Secret' of the Alps
Situated within easy driving distance of Tignes, Val d'Isere, Les Arcs and La Rosiere, you may think of Sainte Foy as a great base to sample the world class resorts of the Tarantaise. However, as convenient as that may be, Sainte Foy offers unparalleled off piste riding, as well as beautifully groomed pistes.

The pistes are quiet and well kept, ideal for families and those learning to ski. For more adventurous guests Sainte Foy offers un-pisted 'Natur' runs great for challenging more advanced skiers and riders.

Sainte for offers many other off=piste trails and you will find it easy to find a skilled and enthusiastic guide to show you the best spots! Sainte Foy Piste Map |
