Sainte Foy ski resort has been designed to recreate a typical alpine village. The chalets that nestle amongst the trees in their Southwest-facing bowl have all been
built in traditional style, with pitched roofs and wooden balconies, using local stone and wood. A refreshing change from the concrete jungles found in some of the larger alpine resorts.
