| Resort description |
Sainte Foy is a small ski area first opened in 1990. Nestled amongst the trees, this uncrowned gem is known only to a select few. It is close to the large resorts of Tignes, Les Arcs and Val d'Isere, yet holds a real unspoilt, intimate village atmosphere. Built in the Savoyard style it gives a seamless blend of old and new, a refreshing change from some of the concrete jungles found the larger alpine resorts.

Skiing in Sainte Foy
The new
1650m long six-person chairlift now
joining Charmettes
at 1800m to Marquise at 2500m has dramatically
increased the lift accessed terrain. New blue-run
Grand Solliet and red-run
La Fogliettaz have been
created as a result and more off-piste routes have
been made easily accessible.
