Often referred to as the “best kept secret in the French Alps” and “the jewel in the crown” of the Tarentaise, Sainte Foy is where the local ski instructors choose to ski on their day off. Although it is smaller than its better known neighbours, it offers plenty of terrain for all ability levels and disciplines.
It has built up a cult following amongst off-piste skiers, boarders and telemarkers who revel in the extensive powder fields where it’s still possible to make fresh tracks days after a snowfall. It is equally popular with families and beginners as the wide, sunny, quiet pistes are ideal for those just getting acquainted with the joys of skiing or boarding.
Non-skiers will find plenty to enjoy too. There are well-marked trails for snow-shoeing, cross-country skiing or simply hiking which offer breath-taking views of the surrounding mountains. One of the best trails takes you to the picturesque, tranquil summer farming hamlet of Le Monal where you can picnic gazing at the glaciers of Mont Pourri across the valley. You could also choose to try your hand at dog-sledding with your own sled pulled by a team of huskies.
The less active can wile away the day soaking up the sun with a glass of wine or a beer on one of the mountain restaurant terraces, or be pampered at one of the two spas at Sainte Foy.
Sainte Foy certainly lives up to the old adage that the best things come in small packages.
Prices are per chalet per week on a self-catered basis. Our self-catered prices include: bed linen, towels and T-towels; beds made for your arrival; end-of-stay cleaning; firewood (if applicable).
It is also available on a catered basis.
If you choose to take a property on a fully catered basis this will include breakfast and après-ski tea and cakes every day, a 2-course children’s supper for those aged 12 and under, and a 3-course dinner for older children and adults, with wine and coffee on 6 nights.
As well as preparing and serving your meals, your chalet hosts will keep the chalet clean and tidy so that all you have to do is relax and enjoy your holiday. Your chalet hosts have a well-deserved day off each week when we ask you to help yourselves to breakfast and tea, and eat out at one of the many local restaurants in the evening.
Our chalet staff are all carefully chosen for their outgoing personalities, experience and maturity, but especially for their cooking skills so you can be assured of excellent service throughout your stay.
What you can expect: Breakfast is a generous buffet-style affair with orange juice, fresh fruit, yogurts, cereals, freshly baked croissants, bread, jams, tea, coffee or hot chocolate. When you return from skiing, tea will be laid out ready for you to help yourselves, including freshly baked cake or biscuits. An early two-course children’s supper can be served for younger children. Dinner will be 3 courses, including a starter, main course and dessert or a selection of local cheeses, served with our quality house wines, followed by coffee. We are happy to cater for vegetarians, and others with special dietary needs.
