Sainte Foy Ski Resort Guide
Sainte Foy Ski Resort Guide
Sainte Foy is a small resort that offers intimate skiing with the emphasis on off-piste but with several giant resorts nearby. Sainte Foy is only really busy when skiers from the big resorts descend to the sheltered tree-lined slopes when storms have closed lifts higher up. There is powder just yards from the pistes at Sainte Foy which lasts for days thanks to the northwest facing slopes. Take a guide to explore one of the renowned off-piste routes to the deserted farming hamlet of Le Monal, or the infamous 1700 m vertical descent of the north face of Fogliettaz. The nearest airport to Sainte Foy is Geneva.

Visitor Reviews of Sainte Foy
Duncan C from United Kingdom writes:
Have skied for 35yrs across all the Euro resorts you care to mention. St Foy is different and will suit if you want a high quality place, lovely peaceful skiing, and we have 3 young kids where they loved the place. The off-piste, if you catch the snow right, is magic but I can understand people without off-piste ability saying the piste area is limited, that's true. I went to A, teach my kids B, do some fantastic powder in between and it's top class for both of those. If you have a 13 yr old to tear around with and you are a mainstream piste skier - stick to the mainstream resorts.
Going back again says it all!
