St Foy
Overview
A small village on the road from Bourg St Maurice to Val d'Isere, this resort has always been hugely popular with off piste skiers but is becoming increasingly attractive to families. The small amount of pisted runs will be of no use to keen piste bashers looking for high mileage, but for off piste skiers it offers some of the best runs in the world. This is where the local ski instructors come on their days off. The small amount of pisted runs are ideal for young children learning to ski.
This is also an ideal resort for clients who want to visit different resorts, as Val d'Isere, Tignes, Les Arcs, La Plagne and La Rosiere are all within a maximum 1 hour drive, making St Foy a great base for the ski safari trip.
The resort houses some top quality catered chalets that are literally 60% cheaper than in neighbouring Val d'Isere.
Offslope/apres ski
Quiet and centred around a few bars in the village. Some off slope activities including paragliding, snow shoeing and dog sledding.
Overview
An almost legendary area for off piste skiers but not suitable for high mileage intermediate piste skiers. Quite good for children learning to ski.
