Sainte Foy Information
Sainte Foy Tarentaise became a ski resort in 1990 and is only a few miles from the larger well-known resorts of Tignes, Val d’Isère and Les Arcs. There are no high-rise buildings in Sainte Foy, just chalet-style buildings that nestle amongst the trees and incorporate local Savoyard features such as round stone columns and stone-slab roofs. No concrete jungle here!
Sainte Foy Tarentaise has some excellent restaurants. From Alpine chalets preparing dishes “like grandma used to make” to haute cuisine there’s something for all tastes. You will find a small selection of bars and shops and Sainte Foy apartments are not far from the lifts or nursery slope.
Non-skiers in Sainte Foy can indulge in a range of activities including dog sledging, superb guided snowshoe walks to many local hamlets, snow biking, heli-skiing (in Italy, just across the border) and paragliding.
There’s a bus service in Sainte Foy ski resort to the surrounding Sainte Foy Tarentaise villages, but from a practical point of view, a car is recommended if you want to travel outside the main Sainte Foy resort.
