 Poster: A snowHead
|
hi,
any recommendations or places to avoid in Sainte Foy? I've looked on TripAdvisor but all the reviews are very out of date. I was thinking of Le Ruitor - anyone been recently?
Many thanks.

Hi @frank_bough, I’ve been an owner in Sainte Foy for many years . Some years ago my cousin from Canada stayed in Le Ruitor with her family and apart from being very warm they thought it was very nice . It’s in a nice quiet corner of the station but is a walk up to the lifts although I think there may be a shuttle bus . I’ve not heard any horror stories from any of the three residences , Fermes , Cime or La Ruitor .
See this

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Stayed there as family of four, a match for the other principal accommodation of that type in village centre, just a short way away from walk out onto the snow as the others are.
Can ski back down to it easily for any skills above very basic learner, turn off coming into village above toboggan/nursery slope, gradient may spook raw beginner.
A little shuttle bus runs up and down very conveniently to snow front though, very frequent and no impediment to usage, so fine from that aspect as its only about 400 mtr distant.
Ski boot room on ground entrance, really convenient to enter and exit from that with ease and kit storage there. Big internal carpark (need to book if needed) but access on arrival to it to dispense luggage etc with temporary access if you ask at reception. All very chilled and well layed out.
Certainly recommended from us, have also stayed Etoile d Cime and La Ferme too as comparison judgement.
Can't forsee any issues to use Le Ruitor. All three are like a snakes and ladder arrangement inside being built on prominent gradient. A "recce" run after checking in advisory to get the most efficient route for luggage to room is helpful for them

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Fermes is on the actual slopes and opposite the lift , Cime more or less on the slopes but we are really splitting hairs , you can ski back to the Le Ruitor but it is a 5min walk uphill or shuttle bus to the lift , bars and restaurants but even then if you compare it to bigger resorts it’s hardly that far .
