The French ski resort of Sainte Foy is often forgotten in this context as the resort is housed between the giants Les Arcs, La Plagne and Tignes. But it's worth stopping here. Because while Sainte Foy may not boast the highest mountains or the most spectacular views, there is something really good here. The slopes have optimal conditions and you can count on unspoiled corduroy trails well into the afternoon. This is what distinguishes Sainte Foy from its tourist neighbours, here you can have your alpine idyll to yourself. The skiing itself is really good and especially the off-piste.
For those of you who like off-piste, Sainte Foy will probably feel like paradise. The ski resort is actually known for its off-piste and that it is a bit of a hidden and unknown gem. When you're looking for first-class snow conditions, empty pistes of the highest quality and no lift queues, Sainte Foy won't disappoint.
