A traditional small Alpine ski resort

Sainte Foy Ski Station

The exclusive resort of Sainte-Foy, known as the "Jewel in the Crown" of the Tarentaise, has a deceptively large ski area - with its own fabulously quiet pistes, extensive off-piste and also easy access to big-name resorts nearby.

Sainte-Foy is ideal for all abilities, from beginners to advanced skiers and boarders - with its quiet pistes and extensive off-piste area. Perfect for mixed ability groups and anyone looking for a genuine village atmosphere.

With a good selection of bars, restaurants and shops, Sainte-Foy provides the perfect ski holiday for families or those wanting to escape the crowds and avoid any queuing to get straight out on the slopes.

Chalet Falcon is conveniently located near the slopes, offering ski-in luxury self-catered accommodation with 3 double and 2 twin rooms, all en-suite with balconies and an amazing boutique-style living space on the top floor to optimize the stunning views.

Ste Foy ski area

Sainte Foy's own ski area has 26 pistes, 800 hectares of forests and high-altitude slopes. Don't be decieved by these reletively modest statisics! The potential for off-piste is huge, and severaal larger resorts are easily accessible nearby.

The family friendly resort of Sainte Foy is located at 1550m, with the highest lift reaching 2620m. Sainte Foy is known as the "best kept secret" in the area, where ski instructors from nearby Val d'Isere are most likely to spend their day off!

Mostly the slopes are uncrowded and the snow is in excellent condition, with powder often staying untracked for days after a snowfall.
