Off- piste

Considered the secret gem of the Tarentaise valley, the resort of Ste Foy is known for its unrivaled off-piste.

Ste Foy boasts a vast selection of off-piste itineraries with something to suit all levels including the North face of the Folliettaz, one of the best off-piste runs in the Tarentaise.

In our opinion a day’s off-piste skiing in Ste Foy Tarentaise really is something special. When other resorts are becoming tracked out, more often than not in Ste Foy there’ll still be some powder to be found & that spot of fresh snow just waiting to be discovered.
