Property Description
A new two bedroom ski apartment, finished with modern fittings and finishing’s but maintaining a traditional Savoyard mountain feel this apartment has fantastic views from the balcony and is within easy walking distance to the lifts.
Situated in a small stone building the front door takes you directly into the open plan living area, tastefully decorated in a combination of granite, stone and wood, a theme that is continued throughout this smart ski apartment.
There is a small kitchen area at the far end of the living room. The terrace doors open out onto a sunny south west facing balcony where is plenty of space for table and chairs from where to enjoy your morning cafe crème whilst admiring the panoramic mountain view.
Leading off the lounge is a small hall way with doors in to the bedrooms and a family bathroom with shower, handbasin and WC. The bedrooms are big enough to fit double beds or bunk beds and singles would work equally well and possibly maximise your rental income. The property has underfloor heating throughout.
The apartment has a private ski locker and the nearest lift is only a short 5 minute walk away. The attractive resort of Sainte Foy Tarentaise is popular with families and keen off piste skiers, with great facilities for beginners and children on the wide, quiet, tree lined runs and enormous potential to explore many off piste itineraries or go ski touring with a guide de montagne.
Bourg Saint Maurice is a busy market town around 25 minutes drive away and has a regular Eurostar and TGV service. Grenoble, Geneva and Lyon airports are all around a 2 hour transfer whilst Chambery is around 1 hour.

Sainte Foy Tarentaise
Resort Ratings
Resort Description
Forget large busy resorts, 2009/2010 is all about “Boutique Skiing” and nowhere does it better that Sainte Foy de Tarentaise. If you LOVE off piste skiing, have a young family and enjoy a chalet atmosphere well then you will REALLY LOVE Sainte Foy. It’s one of the prettiest modern ski villages in France. Nestled among the trees at 1550 metres in a sunny bowl above the Savoie Isere valley, it’s just a short car ride away from a host of better known resorts such as Val D’Isere, Tignes and la Rosiere. It has stunning views of Mont Blanc (4,807m). Small family ski resorts are back in fashion and Sainte Foy has everything you will need. The right skiing mix for experts and beginners, good facilities for children, fine food and a high standard of accommodation. For small children Sainte Foy is ideal, it’s friendly, has a kids club, a ski school and the nursery slopes are conveniently close to the middle of the village. Despite what you may have encountered in other small resorts lifts are in good condition and well maintained. Sainte Foy opened its first 3 lifts in 1990 and has been adding to them ever since. The most recent was a 6 man chairlift in 2006/7. The village has plans to build more lifts in the future to further extend the 30km of pisted ski area. Currently there are 4 chairlifts and 2 tows. The Morion and Crystal Dark blacks that run down from the Col de l'Aiguille summit at 2620 metres are suitably challenging, whilst a full top to bottom descent is possible by taking a succession of reds such as L'Aiguille down to Creux de Formeian finishing up with La Savonette. The snow cannons and its north west facing position keep Sainte Foy snow-covered from December to April. Off piste addicts have raved about Sainte Foy for years, you’ll find powder here days after it has been skied out in nearby Espace Killy. It has long been the reserve of off piste guides and you may want to make use of their expert knowledge, especially when facing serious steeps! Boarders have a terrain park all to themselves by Cret Serru (2040m). Beyond this St Foy is a natural playground for snowboarders with countless drops and hits. The top half of the mountain is a treeless powder bowl, whilst the lower trails are cut through the forest creating endless opportunities to enjoy. Anyway it’s not all about skiing and boarding .......or is it? Your first port of call, once the lifts have closed, should be the Pitchouli Bar. Renowned for its early evening live bands and relaxed atmosphere it’s THE place to wind down before dinner. There are a variety of different restaurants in and around the village, menus range from tapas to local Savoyard fayre. Don’t expect huge nightlife in Sainte Foy, that’s not what it’s about, however if a pleasant meal, a few glasses of wine, in front of an open fire then falling into bed appeals to you, you really will LOVE it here. The Eurostar offers a regular service to Bourg Saint Maurice which lies at the foot of Sainte Foy de Tarentaise, from here a taxi transfer can be arranged. Local airports are Lyon (135kms), Geneva (130kms). Chambery (75kms) and Grenoble (115kms).
