Activities

Skiing

Perfectly located at the heart of some of the biggest ski areas in the world, our chalets are based in Sainte Foy.  That places you in a beautiful village with its own deceptively large ski area, quiet and exclusive with queuing very rare.  It is the 'jewel in the crown' of the Isere valley/Tarentaise area.  The pistes are quiet and the off-piste area is enormous.

However, only a few minutes drive away, you can access several other world class ski resorts including Val D'Isere, Tignes, Les Arcs and La Rosiere, ensuring virtually guaranteed skiing throughout the season. Your amazing value Sainte Foy ski pass, allows you half-price skiing at each of these resorts, and our ski hosts can give you the full guided tours so you can make the most of your excursion.

Ski Touring

Our guides will introduce you this great cardio workout sport.  Touring bindings and ‘skins' on the bottom of your standard skis allow you to ‘skin' up the sides of the pistes.  Who needs a lift pass!?!

Alpine Walks

Occasionally it's nice to take a break half way through your holiday and see the mountain and its forest at a slightly more sedate pace.  Walking from your chalet door you can stroll to the ancient farming hamlet of Le Monal which is a listed site due to its architectural and historical significance to see the 18th century St Clair chapel.

Guided Snow Shoe (Racquet) Walks

The ‘racquets' simply strap on to your walking shoes and voila! you can walk comfortably and easily on snow.  There are dozens of stunning forest walks through the forest right on your doorstep and you might see deer, Marmotte or a rare Black Grouse.

Husky Dog Sledding

Not for the feint-hearted!  This is the real deal with YOU driving the Husky's along narrow mountain paths.  Bring a hip flask full of Brandy!

Wine Tasting

Just 10 minutes from the chalet is the local ‘Cave' at Le Monal Hotel and their Sommelier will introduce you to some of the finer wines from around the Region.

Shopping trip to Val d'Isere

Come on ladies, how about a bit of retail therapy midweek to give those aching ski legs a rest?
