Surrounded by the World famous mega-resorts of Val d'Isère, Tignes, Les Arcs and La Rosière, Sainte-Foy
really is the jewel in this most impressive crown.
Sainte-Foy is famous for its friendly atmosphere, cheap lift pass (around two thirds the price of those in Val d'Isère and Les Arcs) and excellent restaurants, it remains quiet and unspoilt. In fact Sainte-Foy must be one of the least busy resorts you will ever visit. Here, after a short drive from the chalet, you won't encounter lift queues, just friendliness from all those working in the resort who hope that you enjoy the unique ambience as much as they do themselves.
With lifts running from 1550m up to 2620m, the sheltered, north-west facing slopes enjoy excellent snow throughout the winter. Pistes are beautifully and lovingly prepared and the ridiculously small number of visitors to the resort means that they stay in top condition all day long.
The lower slopes offer wonderful sweeping runs through the trees whilst the upper slopes provide the truly breathtaking descents. When you fancy a rest, why not stop off at one of the superb restaurants on the slopes, some converted from original Savoyard shepherds' lodgings.
There are plenty of activities for non-skiers, from guided snowshoe walks to dog sledding! Further information at www.saintefoy.net.
Or why not try out the Spa and Fitness Centre in Station Sainte-Foy
www.spa-conference.com/spa.html which has a heated indoor swimming pool, saunas and steam room.
