Ski schools, children and skiing:
Ski schools: The ESF ski school can be booked in advance. We can also arrange off-piste instruction and guiding.
Children: This is probably the most child friendly resort in the world: Ste. Foy! Ski passes for the under 7’s are free. The well equipped crèche takes those over 3 years and can link up with the ski school so that your children can be entertained and cared for from 9AM to 5PM should you so wish. There is an exceptionally good state registered child minder who will take the under 3’s who lives 5 minutes drive away from the Chalet or we can arrange for childcare at the Chalet.
Skiing: Apart from skiing at Sainte Foy Tarentaise, you can drive to the Espace Killy in 20 minutes at Tignes Les Brévières and to the Les Arc in 15 minutes at Villaroger. Lift Passes: Sainte Foy offers one of the cheapest lift passes in the French Alps. It also allows you a half-price day pass at Val d'Isère, Tignes and Les Arcs and La Rosiere.
Non skiers:
Non skiers: Non-skiers are well catered for with facilities for cross-country skiing, snow-shoeing, dog-sledding, ice-climbing, ice-fishing, ice-skating and swimming nearby. Or why not just relax on the sunny balcony at the Chalet.
Summer:
There are numerous walking and mountain bike routes in the area, to suit all levels of ability. In the peak summer months of July and August, many of the ski lifts in the neighbouring resorts of Les Arcs, Val d’Isère and Tignes are open to cyclists and walkers to allow access to the high mountains. For walkers, we are also very close to the Vanoise National Park with its unique and varied flora and fauna. In addition to walking and mountain biking, there are numerous other activities available within easy reach, including river sports (canoeing, white water rafting, hydro speeding, cannoning), skiing, golf, horse riding, tennis, fishing, bird watching and rock climbing.
