Location: Sainte Foy Tarentaise in France
Car: not necessary
Sainte Foy Ski Station is situated high on the Northern slopes of the Isere Valley roughly half way between Bourg Saint Maurice and Val D'Isere. The Sainte Foy ski system is set in a beautiful open part of the valley with lifts from Sainte Foy station at 1550 metres to the top at 2600 metres. As well as the marked runs with a drop of over 1000 metres there is huge off piste potential from easy tree runs near the slopes to routes off La Foglietta, routes back to Sainte Foy via back bowls and the idyllic hamlet of Le Monal and randonnee / ski touring routes to neighbouring villages or into Italy. The massive Paradis Ski ( Les Arcs / La Plagne ) and Espace killy (Tignes / Val D'Isere ) ski systems can be reached in about 10 minutes and 20 minutes respectively by car. The town of Bourg Saint Maurice with railway station, banks, hypermarkets and more ski shops is also about 20 minutes away by car.
