Resort: Sainte-Foy is a charming village about midway between Bourg St Maurice and Tignes and the ski “station” of Sainte-Foy is at an altitude of 1550m and about 8km from the village and the Hotel Monal. Sainte-Foy is a true Alpine village, as opposed to a ski resort, a hamlet which opened its first lift in 1991 and is still in its infancy. It has enough skiing of it's own to keep an advanced skier happy and offers unlimited and varied off-Piste skiing in a beautiful un spoilt wilderness.

Winter: If you judge a resort on the quality of its skiing rather than number of lifts or km of piste, Ste Foy scores a perfect 10 out of 10 with three chair lifts rising from the resort at 1550m to 2,620m and giving access to a fabulous, raw and exciting ski area with no crowds and no queues. La Rosière at 1850m has 150km of sunny skiing including Italy. If you like cruising on miles of pistes, Sainte Foy is easily accessible to the nearby “mega-resorts” of Val d’Isère and Les Arcs and a day skiing in these resorts is included in the Saint Foy lift pass.

Summer: This hamlet is ideal for peace, quiet, and relaxing walks in magnificent scenery. There is plenty to do in the area so your summers will be as pleasurable as the winters.

In the press... "Lean back against the solid walls of the chalet and drink in the early morning view: snow-capped mountains across the valley glow orange as the sun catches the peaks..."
