A small resort that offers intimate skiing with the emphasis on off-piste but with several giant resorts nearby. Only really busy when skiers from the big resorts descend to the sheltered tree-lined slopes when storms have closed lifts higher up. Powder just yards from the pistes or amongst the trees, which lasts for days thanks to its 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. New for 05/06 id a second chairlift, accessing the slopes of Les Combes.

Resorts close to Sainte Foy include: Villaroger (1 km), Les Arcs (6 km), La Rosiere (7 km), Les Coches (11 km), Montchavin/Les Coches (11 km),

Visitor Reviews of Sainte Foy


Mark Smyth from UNITED KINGDOM writes:

I have been to Sainte Foy for the past two years and it was the most fantastic wee place for taking a young family to ski at. The lift operators slow the lifts down for the kids to get on and off. The pistes are quiet and everyone on them stop to let kids ski past or are very patient with the kids when skiing near them. A very safe place and plenty of skiing for all the family. If you want a challenge it mightn't be the place for you. Only 4 lifts catering for about 15 or 16 runs but lots of off-piste if you fancy it. A couple of blacks and 3 or 4 reds and a few blues and greens. I would say it is perfect for the beginner and the intermediate skier. The best place for kids! Try it and see just how great a wee place it is. Also half price lift tickets for the larger ski areas if you fancy a day away to somewhere larger. If you want more details just email me at chumly@marsmy.freeserve.co.uk
Cheers,
Mark
