Chalet Montrose: the place to be in all seasons :
The surroundings of Chalet Montrose are marvellous in all seasons. In winter, it has very varied ski area in its backyard. In spring and summer, when the snow has melted, the slope beside the house is turned into a sea of flowers. The brook mumbles, the birds are singing, sometimes the farmer brings his sheep. In autumn the larches turn orange, the cherry trees turn red, the birch turns yellow, you find yourself in another beautiful landscape. Besides, the mountains with the everlasting snow on the other side of the valley change all the time.
A drawer filled with information:
In the left drawer of the cupboard in the living room, there is a lot of information. Many books with, for example, descriptions of walking- and mountainbike routes, tourist’s maps, and folders of things to do and to see in the surroundings and in the larger region. Suggestions for restaurants etc. We are sure you will find at least something that suits you!

The village of Sainte Foy has its own internet site:
It informes you about many things you will like to know about Sainte Foy, about winter- and summer activities, special events, access etc.

Non-skiers will also enjoy this winter paradise walking or using raquettes to explore the forest trails leading to deserted summer farming hamlets.
