    • Property Description

      The snowy hamlet of La Masure sits just below Ste Foy Tarentaise and is a really pretty village where properties are much sought after.  Sitting in a sunny bowl and enjoying sun throughout the day the area offers stunning views down and across the valley.  Just a 10 minute drive to the ski resort of Ste Foy this apartment is located in an ideal position to enjoy regular skiing in some of the top resorts in the area.  La Rosiere and Villaroger are within a 15 minutes drive whilst Val d’Isere and Tignes are around 30 minutes away, so you can be in some of the best known ski domains in France!


      It is the last property on the road up through the forest and is therefore very peaceful and quiet.  The village is around a 5 minutes drive to Ste Foy where you will find shops, schools, bars and restaurants.  Further afield, around 15 minutes drive is Bourg Saint Maurice which is the main town in the area, which has all the commerce and facilities you need.  There is also a train station in Bourg which has regular links to Chambery, Lyon and further and during the winter has weekly services from the Eurostar.


      Ste Foy is known amongst enthusiasts and those with local knowledge as an off-piste heaven!  With many routes and itineraries through the trees and the wider bowl of the mountain bowl that the resort sits in.  If your technique is up to it there is even an off-piste itinerary from the resort which arrives back at the apartment – so you could call it ski in!  Ste Foy is also a fantastic family, beginners and intermediates resort.  With wide open and often uncrowded pistes children and beginners will quickly progress as their confidence grows.  There are some lovely bars and restaurants in the village and also some sunny, gorgeous terraces to enjoy a long lunch in the mountain restaurants.


      The apartment offers 72m2 of accommodation and is accessed by a ground floor door at the rear of the property.  This door opens out on to the garden area that is sold with the apartment.  You enter into the living area which is left open plan and has plenty of space to be divided into living and dining areas.  There is a balcony which stretches across the entire front of the property which is nice and wide and extremely sunny being south facing!  Its views are beautiful across the stone chalets and roof tops across the valley.


      The kitchen area is situated at the end of this open plan space and has not been fitted yet so you have the opportunity to choose the exact units and equipment that you want and is suited to your style and requirements.


      Going through to the back of the apartment is more living space, which could also be developed into a third bedroom or office if you wish.  There is a family shower room and a storage cupboard off this area.  Proceed into two double bedrooms, the master of which is en-suite with a bath tub, washbasin and WC. 


      The house has been laid to neutral tiles throughout the living area and will be carpeted in the bedrooms.  It is still to be completed so you can add your own finishing touches which is a great benefit of this property.


      The property is sold with a large garage and storage room which are situated on the ground floor underneath the apartment.  There is parking and a small garden area to the side of the property.


      There are lots of activities in this domain with countless hiking and cycling routes, whilst you can enjoy horse riding, white water sports, golf, swimming, fishing and much more in the resorts and towns close by during the summer time.

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).
