It is a seamless blend of old and new created to
offer guests comfort, space and refined luxury. A
refreshing change from the concrete jungles found in
some of the larger alpine resorts nearby.
Sainte Foy Tarentaise has some very good eating
places, so from alpine chalets preparing dishes like
grandma used to make to haute-cuisine restaurants
there is something for all tastes. The small
selection of bars and shops in Ste Foy is just enough
for a successful Sainte Foy ski holiday. And no
accommodation is far from the lifts or nursery slope.
Non skiers in Ste Foy can indulge in dog sledding,
superb guided snowshoe walks to the many little
hamlets, snow biking, heliskiing (in nearby Italy)
and paragliding.
There is a bus service in Sainte Foy ski resort to
the surrounding Sainte Foy Tarentaise villages, but
it is recommended to have a car from a practical
point of view if you want to travel outside the main
Ste Foy resort.
