Sainte Foy is located close to the Italian border and as well as having its own little known and uncrowded ski area, is an excellent base for those with a car to visit some of France's classic ski areas, within a thirty minute drive, including Val d'Isere, Tignes and les Arcs as well as the cross border French/Italian region of La Rosiere/La Thuile. It's also more affordable than most of these giant resorts surrounding it, with the local lift ticket (and everything else) far cheaper than most of its neighbours.
