If you’ve never heard of Sainte Foy, good. Let’s keep it our little secret. Tucked between better-known giants like Val d’Isère and Les Arcs, Sainte Foy Tarentaise is a peaceful, authentic resort where families can truly slow down and breathe.
No traffic. No crowds. Just beautiful tree-lined slopes, traditional chalets, and a community feel you rarely find in big-name ski towns.
And yes – Little Peaks Nannies is based here too. 
We’re proud to offer year-round English-speaking childcare in Sainte Foy, so you can enjoy your mountain escape, knowing your little ones are happy, safe, and thriving.
Winter in Sainte Foy – Small Resort, Big Heart
This place isn’t about loud après-ski or massive terrain parks. It’s about confidence-building ski zones, empty pistes, and that feeling of skiing through a snow globe.
What to do in winter:
Ski slopes perfect for families and mixed-ability groups- Free magic carpet for beginners
- Quiet off-piste heaven for adventurous parents (with childcare sorted )
- Sledging hill right by the village
- Ice climbing nearby (if you’re feeling brave!)
- Forest snowshoe trails just outside the village
