The Skiers' Guide to Sainte Foy Tarentaise

Great family resort with varies runs. Its a small resort but you can get the bus to tignes for the day. There is an assortment of bars but not really any apres ski. It has an amazing community vibe .

This is a fairly small resort but with plenty of skiing for intermediate skiers. Being small, the lift passes are a fraction of the larger resort’s. There is rarely a queue at the lifts as they are so efficient. La Rosiére and Val disère are fairly close if you have transport and want to mix it up for a day or two. The apres is limited but there are a few bars and great restaurants in the resort. My favourite is Les Moulinettes which is almost at the bottom of the slopes and has a few tables with fire pits and live music a couple of days a week starting around 4.30pm. When you’re done it’s a tiny shush to the bottom lift. Over the last three years my friends and I have stayed at The Peak luxury catered chalet with Premier-niege.com but there are excellent budget options too. All in all a wonderful experience and I shall be returning soon!

Lovely resort, quiet and well run.
We didn’t have the best snow while out there meaning it was better suited to skiers than snowboarding, after a few days a few from the group swapped from snowboarding to skiing because of this.
Bars and restaurants were nice, a few options.
Not for those who want loud apres vibes, more family friendly.

Quiet resort with excellent off piste possibilities...close to villaroger and Les arcs as well as tignes, Val d'isere and la rosiere

My favourite resort. Empty, beautifully groomed pistes & unbeatable on a powder day. A different way of skiing - quality over kms of piste.

The best family ski holiday spot! Slopes are great, never queue for a lift, everyone is so friendly and it’s just wonderful.

Amazing slopes, really quiet, family friendly with many harder runs for the more advanced to enjoy.

Great social atmosphere in bars and restaurants on the slopes and in the resort.

Great place to learn how to ski/snowboard. Very family friendly and easy to figure your way around the pistes. Amazing resort for off piste skiing and if you’re looking for somewhere a bit larger Tignes and Val are right around the corner.

Lovely small resort, good for all abilities. Lovely food and cafe spots.
Slopes were well maintained with good snow fall whilst we were there.
Highly recommend

amazing resort! would 100% recommend and visit again. Amazing runs and good lift efficiency, good apres and food and wine bars!

Loved my time here!
It may be a small resort but it’s great! Such a good variety of runs, bars and restaurants. Never have to queue for lifts.

Small friendly resort. Been coming here for years. Great for all levels of skiers and also for children.

Heaven compared to the overcrowded mega resorts, wonderful pistes, amazing off piste, no queues, friendly people, just chilled

I did my first ski season in Sainte Foy so it will always have a special place in my heart. It is a resort that is not as well known as others due to its small size so is often very quiet which is perfect for beginners and families. There are some lovely restaurants both on the mountain and at the bottom that provide some great French cuisine. Overall Sainte Foy is a very small resort it is full of character and charm, and I would absolutely recommend to families looking for a pretty resort with quieter slopes!

St Foy is a great option. Although 4 lifts area relatively is large from 1550 up to 2650. Great quite pistes. Espace Killy, Paradiski ( Les Arcs) La Rosiere also within easy reach

Great small family resort
All the resort staff are super helpful and had a great community feel
Runs for all different levels of skiers. It doesn’t have the busy feel of a small resort. Great bars and restaurants on and off the slopes.
Just a bus ride from valdisere / tigne if you want a busier ski day

Although there aren’t a lot of runs here, the runs are of good quality and have lots of levels for different abilities. Lifts were very good and it is easy to go off piste

Been skiing here all my life - since before I could walk - whilst it’s a smaller resort it still has a really nice atmosphere for those not looking to party hard

Great little resort for families with all pistes leasing back to a single base. Pistes are always perfectly prepared and a small but efficient lift system means queues are not common after the 9am ski school rush. Plenty of access to inbounds off piste, with more to go at outside of the resort boundaries

Only 4 ski lifts but great terrain for off-piste and touring options. Very friendly locals, fun apres esp. in Moulinettes Bar. Severel excellent restaurants but booking essential.
