Sainte Foy Transfers

Tucked away in the Tarentaise valley of the French Alps, Sainte Foy sits at a respectable 1550m, with lifts reaching up to 2620m. It’s just a stone’s throw from the Italian border, which means it catches snowfall from both sides of the mountains – pretty handy for keeping the slopes topped up.

You’ll find it nestled between some of the big names in French skiing – Val d’Isère, Tignes, Les Arcs, and La Rosière are all nearby. This makes Sainte Foy a great base if you fancy exploring the wider area, but honestly, you might not want to leave once you get a taste of its uncrowded runs and laid-back vibe.

With 43 km of pistes and some cracking off-piste options, Sainte Foy caters for all levels. It’s got a reputation for being family-friendly, with free skiing for under-7s, but don’t let that fool you – there’s plenty to challenge more experienced skiers too.

Top tips for an Alps summer holiday

Top tips for an Alps summer holiday

Here are some top tips to prepare for a summer holiday in Saint Foy:

  • Bring versatile clothing for changeable mountain weather. Think breathable layers, waterproof jacket, sturdy hiking boots, and comfy trainers.
  • Popular experiences like guided climbing, Via Ferrata, and whitewater rafting can fill up quickly. Reserve your spots early, especially for family-friendly options like the adventure park.
  • Book your stay early, as summer can be surprisingly busy. Consider self-catering options to take advantage of local markets. For dining out, research restaurants like L’ à Cœur or La Maison à Colonnes, and make reservations for busier evenings.
