Sainte Foy Tarentaise is one of the French Alps' best value finds, a friendly Savoyard village where quiet slopes and hardly any lift queues mean you get more skiing for your money. With flights from Dublin and transfers included, getting there is easy, and once you arrive the relaxed pace takes over.
The ski area rises from 1,550 m to 2,620 m, with 43 km of pistes winding through larch forest and opening onto wide slopes higher up, all with wonderful views of Mont Blanc. Intermediates will love the long red runs, while confident skiers can explore the resort's excellent freeride zones, marked right on the piste map.
Beginners and families are well looked after too, with gentle nursery slopes beside the village, easy beginner lifts and ski schools on hand. It is a safe, unhurried place to learn, and with so few crowds, children can build confidence quickly.
After skiing, a handful of cosy bars and good-value restaurants serve hearty Savoyard dishes in a laid-back atmosphere. It is a peaceful, welcoming resort that offers real value from the moment you land.
