About Sainte Foy
Despite Sainte Foy being right up there with the best in terms of amenities, conveniences and entertainment, it somehow feels much more unspoilt than its neighbouring resorts. The atmosphere is relaxed, the general clientele laid back and it seems everyone here has the same priority – old-fashioned good times on and of the slopes. Speaking of slopes, you’ll be kept busy with a full 32km of runs serviced by 5 ski lifts, while pistes above the 2,620m mark guarantee all-season snow. It’s a great place for families as one of the safest resorts in the region and as far as the scenery goes, it’s like a little slice of snow-covered Heaven!
