Sainte Foy may not be a ski area you’re familiar with, but it hides in plain sight, located between some of the biggest and best-known ski areas in the French Alps. Sainte Foy though goes its own way. It has its own ski area which is, wonderfully, much less crowded and with much more affordable lift passes than its better-known neighbours. It also has its own friendly community, welcoming atmosphere and great facilities.

The founders of Premiere Neige found and fell in love with Sainte Foy more than 20 years ago. Starting with just one property in 2002, they have grown organically over the years in both size and reputation to be the best accommodation and service provider in Sainte Foy, with a fabulous selection of properties and every aspect of your holiday covered.

Just as Premiere Neige has grown with ever deeper roots in Sainte Foy and love of the destination, becoming the longest-established and most respected holiday company there, so has the resort itself. Whilst still an intimate, friendly resort dwarfed by its neighbours, it’s no longer the sleepy mountain village it once was. There’s now a great selection of eateries, bars and entertainment to be had whilst Sainte Foy still retains its wonderful Savoyard charm and relaxing atmosphere.
What has always been one of Sainte Foy’s great appeals, its quiet, well-maintained slopes continue to be one of its biggest attractions though. Whilst many of its large neighbours have got ever more crowded, it continues to have no lift queues, even during school holidays.

That, along with its lower prices and intimate scale, makes it a great choice for families. There’s plenty of wonderful gentle terrain and under 8’s even ski for free. Ski school is very different and far superior to the norm in the bigger, impersonal resorts with small class sizes and caring instructors offering a far more personal touch. With Premiere Neige able to provide properties right by the slopes and with their awesome team ready to assist whenever needed, it’s really the ideal choice for families. Kids can be in ski school while parents are out exploring Sainte Foy’s wonderful quiet slopes and, if they wish, the extensive off-piste offer, and then you can all meet up for lunch with ease.
But it’s not just for families , there’s something for everyone. For experienced skiers, part of the joy of skiing Sainte Foy is that it’s still untapped by the masses and is actually a favourite spot for ski instructors and locals from the wider region to visit on their days off.
Those off-piste slopes are a big attraction. The resort is famous for its abundant powder and there are some wonderful descents to enjoy. There’s plenty of groomed terrain for experienced skiers too, with tree-lined slopes and higher altitude options at 2600m and above.

Sainte Foy is also perfectly placed for day trip ski safaris with easy access to neighbouring resorts La Plagne, Les Arcs, Val dʼIsère and Tignes. There’s even the chance to ski from La Rosière over the border to La Thuile in Italy for a lovely Italian lunch!

The reviews speak for themselves:
“From start to finish it was brilliant. As soon as we made an enquiry we had really prompt responses. We are in the process of booking for next year and both Alex and Moa are again really helpful. The chalets were immaculate and exceeded expectations. We genuinely can’t fault anything. Having stayed in Sainte Foy numerous times, we as a group of 14 people, we love these chalets the most. I would like to also mention Louise who looked after us in resort. We were really late arriving on the first night and she was constantly in touch via text. She helped us order food for that night and couldn’t have been more helpful. We requested more kindling for the fire which was brought by a really nice man and also had an issue with the hot tub which was quickly rectified. All in all a brilliant company.”
