This property has recently undergone a full renovation with the design and finish executed to an impeccably high standard. The chalet is built in the traditional Savoyard style, combining the local stone and rustic wood facia’s, stone tiled roof and wooden shutters on the windows.
The ski resort of Sainte Foy Tarentaise is nestled among the trees and a firm favourite for having a vast variation of pistes, off piste and ski touring routes.
With its North-West exposure the snow quality in Sainte Foy is exceptional.
Set between 1550m to 2620m, offering 800 hectares of forest and high altitude areas with 26 pistes of varying difficulty. The resort is perfect for beginners, intermediates, expert skiers and a real haven for free riders too with access to sensational off piste. Accompanied by a professional guide, enjoy skiing through virgin snow on the well-known routes such as Le Monal or the north face of Fogliettaz (nearly 2000 m of descent).
Sainte Foy also has lots to offer in the Summer from hiking through the forests and to the summer villages such as Le Monal, mountain and electric biking with the chairlifts offering an uplift, mountain Karting and Pentanque.
Dining in Sainte Foy offers a diverse mix of high quality cuisine, from Savoyard Alpine Mountain Restaurants, to Convivial sharing of Wine, Tapas and Fondue, to private dining experiences to suit all tastes and budgets.
Entering the chalet from the rear, you are immediately greeted by the quality and high specification. In the hallway there are bespoke designed storage cupboards to the left and stairs that lead up to the living area to the right. Digitally controlled under floor heating throughout the chalet offers both comfort and ease.
From the hallway, on the ground floor level, you will find the 3 bedrooms. The master bedroom faces West at the front of the property with the magnificent views across to the mountains. It has integrated wardrobes with rustic, bespoke wooden doors, downlighters to create the ambiance and quality oak engineered floors. Leading into the en suite bathroom consisting of a large bath with built in shower, glass screen, electric towel radiator and a large sink sunk into the modern drawers.
Bedroom 2 reflects the high quality interior and fittings in the master bedroom, this time with an en suite shower room, tiled floor and walls.
The third bedroom is a quirky designed bunk bed room, with rustic hand made bunk beds made on a right angle to maximise the space for storage. It has an en suite shower room and a separate WC can be found off the hallway.
Entering level one from the stairway the semi open plan area greets you. You are immediately drawn to the lounge dining area and through the glass patio doors onto the balcony. From here you really will be mesmerised by the breathtaking views across to the Mountain ranges of Mont Pourri and the Aiguille Rouge (the summit of Les Arc) . This beautiful chalet stands proudly high above the centre of Sainte Foy Ski Station and looks down from the balcony into the nucleus of the resort. Set just 10m away from the piste it is a very short run down to the first lift “plan bois” to whizz you up the chairlift past the chalet.
The lounge diner is a large, open plan living area, flooded with natural light from its treble aspect windows. It is finished to the highest spec and showcases the beautiful vaulted, exposed wooded beam ceiling.
The kitchen can be found to the rear of the living area and exhibits a superior designed luxurious u shaped working area. It consists of granite work tops, quality fitted units and high end appliances. A further window to the rear of the property adds even more light to this grand, delightful space.
The boot and ski room can be found via a separate external door next to the main entrance. The combined use of traditional “old look” wood, along with modern storage solutions continues throughout this magnificently finished room. There is also an electric boot warmer and continued under floor heating.
The chalet has land to the front and rear and parking for at least 2 cars to the side of the property.
All the furniture can be included in the price, which would therefore make this property “turn key” and ready to move straight in with no works required.

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).
