In the midst of the most famous ski resorts of the Tarentaise, Sainte Foy is the youngest and most British of the resorts, distinguished by its carefully-controlled development and infinite opportunities for skiing… Far from the frenzy of the larger resorts, here you will feel as though you have discovered a secret hideaway that everyone is keeping hush about. Go backcountry skiing in the midst of a protected natural environment and experience chalet life like nowhere else, with everything from simple luxury to exclusive services. Steeped in a rich architectural heritage with its classified hamlet, its houses with their magnificent pillars, its chapels, and its chalets with their stone facades, wood cladding and lauze roof shingles, here you can enjoy a real mountain atmosphere. Pastoralism was once the main local activity and is still very present in Sainte Foy Tarentaise today. Herds of cows and sheep graze peacefully in the protected valley of Le Clou, Sassière plateau, and the mountain pastures. In the village of Le Monal, you can buy the famous persillé cheese, made from raw goat’s milk. First produced in the mid-eighteenth century, it is still made today using the ancestral methods. During your excursions and walks around Sainte Foy, you can also visit the main farms in the surrounding area.
