    Sainte Foy Ski Resort

    Sainte Foy ski resort is a hidden gem nestled deep in the Tarentaise Valley. This lesser-known ski resort is far quieter than its neighbours Tignes, Val d’Isère and Les Arcs. Perfect for families or those wanting to escape the hustle and bustle of the bigger ski resorts, visitors can enjoy uncrowded slopes, luxurious chalets and the charm of a peaceful Alpine village in Sainte Foy ski resort. The ski area is also known to be one of the ultimate off-piste paradises in the Alps with excellent skiing.

    Sainte Foy ski resort has 42km of varied slopes, which are suitable for any level of skier or snowboarder. The uncrowded slopes and short queuing times mean you can maximise your time on the slopes. It is also easy to access great off-piste terrain in the area with a local mountain guide.

    The village itself has a traditional Savoyard style of wood and stone with alpine chalets and family-run bars and restaurants. Sainte Foy ski resort’s nightlife is very relaxed but there are great options for a quiet drink or a delicious meal in the area. The quiet atmosphere is ideal for a relaxing ski holiday and family trips. Off the slopes, you can enjoy activities such as parapenting, snowshoeing, dog sledding, ice driving and even ice diving. In addition, there are delightful alpine spas to enjoy during your stay to truly unwind after a day of skiing.
