Thinking about giving Canada a miss this year for Sainte Foy. How is it? Anyone stayed at this chalet: www.whiteroomchalet.com?
Obviously stevomcd can stay out of this

Le Monal, Fogliettaz 2 great off piste runs
Used to be much quieter 5 -10 years ago, but many new chalets have been built and the Ski media went on and on about it so the secret got out.
Its a good base for exploring the Tarentaise Valley as a whole.

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

I've only visited for the day from Val d'Isere.
A very nice smaller area with some good off-piste. Well placed mid-way between Val d'Isere/Tignes and Les Arcs/La Plagne (=Paradiski) to visit both. You might want the variety.
Don't know the Chalet.

if you like to ski groomers (pistes) then there are better options nearby (paradiski / espace killy), otherwise I reckon you can 'tick off' all the pistes in Ste Foy in a day or two..
If you like off-piste then it's a good spot - not upto la grave standards but not bad at all.
Pretty / Somewhat 'plastic' resort...one road thru resort so I'd imagine at peak arrival/departure could be a nightmare...

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

arv, Ssssshhhhh, when mentioning the resort, please speak in hushed tones - we don't want everyone finding the place.....as mentioned above, the cat is now out of the bag, but is still very quiet on the whole. Some of the best off-piste in the Tarentaise, frequented by off-duty instructors, guides and gnarly film-makers. Resort itself is small and compact, despite the recent development. Great base to ski the whole Tarentaise region. Any other questions, you can ask me in the 'pitch when the lifts close

Persoanlly I hate the place and wouldn't want to reccomend it to anyone, Can't understand why anyone would want to go somewhere that is friendly,small uncrowded and has some great off piste skiing and is so close to alot of other major resorts.
