LOCATION

Known as “The Jewel of The Alps” this “best kept secret” is a peaceful family resort famed for its fantastic off-piste skiing and only a short drive from the key resorts of Val d’Isere, Tignes, Les Arcs and La Rosiere. It has lovely uncrowded skiing to suit all types of skiers.

Sainte Foy is relatively easy to access via Geneva, Grenoble or Lyon airports and the Eurostar ski train terminates at Bourg St Maurice, only a 20 minute drive away.

FACILITIES

There is a very friendly local ESF ski school, well equipped ski/snowboard shops, variety of restaurants, nice bars, luxury spa, well stocked supermarket, great boulangerie/patiserrie, good newsagent and a cash machine in the car park – and no night clubs.

In the winter, as well as skiing, there is some great snow shoe walking (guided or unguided), dog sledding and plenty of safe places for the children to sledge. Or for those who want an easier life, why not watch the world go by from one of our balconies or curl up in front of the fire and enjoy our large DVD collection!

Summer is equally as stunning, when the ski/snowboard shops turn to mountain bike rental and the sheep occupy the bottom of the green run. There are numerous trails accessible from the front door for both mountain biking and trail walking. Also within easy reach are white-water rafting, skiing on the glacier at Tignes, swimming in the river at Bourg St Maurice, watching cheese making at Beaufort and much much more.
