Sainte-Foy

Sainte Foy, often called the “best-kept secret” of the Tarentaise, but don’t worry, we’ll let you in on it anyway.

Here, you’ll find French families gliding gracefully down the Marquise run, a handful of Brits thrilled to have discovered a place that isn’t overrun by their neighbours, and the odd Italian who strayed from La Thuile in search of fresh powder.

While the party animals among us might lament the lack of a wild après-ski scene, those who prefer sipping a quiet vin chaud at La Pitchouli bar after a day on Sainte Foy’s famously uncrowded pistes are in for a treat.

We love the untouched off-piste stashes that make your Instagram followers jealous, and lift queues so short you might think you’ve time-traveled back to the ‘90s. 

Enjoy the tranquillity while it lasts - word is definitely getting out!
