Property Description

Currently used as a luxury catered winter ski chalet by a small, independent tour operator, equally, it would make an imposing private residence and holiday home.  Offered to you by a local, highly regarded, but small family developer this chalet has been built to solid high standards, using quality fittings.  Of wood, stone and local lauze tiled roof it is simply stunning on your arrival!  And you won’t be disappointed once you enter the property.


Offering fantastic rental return due to its style, size and location being set just metres above the ski slopes, resort lift and centre of Ste Foy Tarentaise.  These qualities are much sought after and makes this a great package!


On to the accommodation.  Three large garages, huge terraces and balconies and also staff accommodation within.  Plenty of storage for owner’s or guests equipment, 8 large bedrooms which are all en-suite, sumptuous living with a grand open fire-place, corner bar area, separate dining and professional kitchen.  ­­­The chalet is ready to go as either an investment property or indeed a glorious, private, luxury residence.


As this property is fully equipped to cater, care and accommodate for at least 20 guests you could consider this to be a boutique style hotel.  A professional kitchen which has its own pantry area and staff access to the dining and bar area it is perfectly laid out to be an efficient commercial serving, catering space.  The living and dining area is suitably laid out for evening relaxation or games around a truly grandiose fireplace and is the perfect place to sojourn after dinner in the authentic mountain dining room.  There is a bar area at one end of the living area which gives more space and separate areas for guests. This opens out on to the large balcony which sweeps around the front and side of the property, so again, a great spot for guests on the warm spring evenings or sunny summer mornings we enjoy.  The large terrace has a very accommodating hot tub in situ too, what a privilege!


The bedrooms are situated over 4 floors and are all en-suite and are a great size, all large doubles with plenty of space to relax and lots of cupboard space to store your personal belongings.  There are also two family rooms, which occupy the top floor with a mezzanine area in each room for the kids. These are full sized suites with a bathroom, living area, parent’s area and the children’s mezzanine. A central lift is installed to whisk you between the floors.

Downstairs you will find a closet or boot room to store you skis, boots, snow boards, coats and walking boots. It is a large room and would accommodation bicycles during the summertime. With an office or bedroom and bathroom assigned to staff in the reception and ground floor the main heart and accommodation of the property remains private and undisturbed.  The kitchen area also has its own entrance from outside, around the rear of the property, again maintaining your privacy and offering an entrance for staff.  There is another entrance on the first floor so you can avoid the storage room and walk through the reception area straight in to the warm, inviting living area.

On a smaller scale than resorts such as Val d’Isere and Tignes that lie just 20 minutes up the valley from here, Ste Foy offers a quiet, sunny and relaxing lifestyle.  Having said that, it is a beautiful sunny resort for families, for those learning to ski and equally some excellent off piste route.  A central base to explore the other resorts in the area, many of the local ski guides and instructors base themselves here as it is approximately 20 minutes from the other resorts.

Bourg Saint Maurice is 15 minutes transfer and the international airports of Geneva, Grenoble and Lyon are around a 2 hour transfer and Chambery operates a great program during the months of November to April to UK and European cities.

Sainte Foy Tarentaise

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).
