Off-Piste Adventure: Intermediate
This intermediate-level off-piste adventure course is a guide-led week which is ideal for skiers with previous off-piste experience who want to discover and explore the fantastic off-piste terrain in Sainte Foy and the Tarentaise area. Our guides all have excellent local knowledge and will ensure you enjoy a thrilling week of safe, off-piste adventure.
Sainte Foy remains remarkably unspoiled, preserving its authentic charm and local architecture but development is planned so there couldn't be a better time to explore the 'real' Sainte Foy before the development starts. Ski lifts take you up to 2,550 metres and the Col de l'Aiguille, the launchpad for much of the off-piste skiing for which Sainte Foy has earned its reputation. Superb off-piste descents in one of the world's premier ski regions offer extensive opportunities to get plenty of miles in under your skis.
