Sainte Foy, nestled between alpine forests offers some of the most stunning views in the Alps. Located near the Italian border and as well as having its own uncrowded ski area, it is an excellent base for those with a car to visit some of France's classic ski areas, within a thirty minute drive, including Val d'Isere, Tignes, Les Arcs and La Rosiere/La Thuile. The town of Bourg St Maurice is just 10mins away for local shopping.
Accompanied by a guide, you can explore one of the fabulous off piste routes with their stunning and unforgettable scenery:
To the listed village of Le Monal with spectacular views across to the glaciers on Mont Pourri
To the north face of Fogliettaz, one of the best loved off-piste routes in the area, much favoured by local mountain guides because of the quality of the snow which lasts long after other routes have been skied-out.
For non-skiers, Ste Foy is equally appealing for walkers, climbers, mountain bikers, golfers and other outdoor enthusiasts.
