Tucked away in the Upper Tarentaise valley, Sainte Foy Tarentaise is a boutique alpine resort that has earned a loyal following for its authenticity, charm, and exceptional off-piste skiing. Often referred to as a “hidden gem,” it offers a quieter, more exclusive experience than its larger neighbours, yet with access to world-class terrain and excellent natural snowfall thanks to its northwest-facing slopes.
The resort sits at 1,550 metres, with skiing up to 2,620 metres and a vertical drop of over 1,000 metres. While it offers around 43 km of groomed pistes for all abilities, Sainte Foy is particularly renowned among seasoned skiers and guides for its untouched powder fields, tree skiing, and lift-accessed backcountry routes. Heliskiing is also possible from the nearby glacier du Ruitor and across the border into Italy, adding to its freeride appeal.
Despite being a purpose-built resort developed in the 1990s, Sainte Foy has been designed with care to reflect traditional Savoyard architecture, using stone, wood, and slate to preserve the character of the region. The result is a tasteful and harmonious village setting that feels more like an old mountain hamlet than a modern ski station.
Families are particularly well catered for here. The resort centre is pedestrianised and safe for children, with dedicated beginner zones, ESF ski school, sledging areas, and gentle slopes close to most accommodations. Off the slopes, visitors can enjoy snowshoeing, dog sledding, and tranquil forest walks. In summer, the area transforms into a haven for hiking, mountain biking, and picnicking, with lift access open for alpine exploration.
The atmosphere in Sainte Foy is warm and relaxed. There are several inviting restaurants and bars offering regional cuisine and a friendly après-ski, along with essential shops and services, all within easy reach. While more low-key than larger resorts, Sainte Foy’s intimacy and quality of life appeal strongly to those seeking a more refined and restful mountain experience.
Easily accessible from Bourg-Saint-Maurice, just 11 km away, and with connections to major airports such as Chambéry, Geneva, and Lyon, Sainte Foy combines convenience with seclusion. It’s an exceptional location for those looking to invest in a mountain property that offers not only superb skiing but also year-round appeal and a strong sense of community.
Whether for a holiday home, lifestyle investment, or a full-time relocation, Sainte Foy Tarentaise presents an increasingly rare opportunity: Alpine authenticity, preserved.
Please dont hesitate to ask any questions that you have on this or any other property in the Upper Tarentaise . I have lived and worked here for over 20 years and am always available to help you to decide on the best location. I am also happy to help you estimate renovation costs and connect you with professional accountants, lawyers, cleaning services and much more.

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).
