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.
