| 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.
