Renting a snowboard in Sainte Foy Tarentaise is the easiest way to enjoy an authentic resort, nestled between larch forests and stone chalets. Here, the slopes are less crowded, ideal for making progress, carving beautiful curves and enjoying the powder when it falls.

As for the weather, the resort is often north-facing, which preserves the cold snow from December to March. The best windows are in the morning after a fall, with good visibility in the trees. In anticyclonic weather, start high to take advantage of firm snow, then return to sheltered areas if the light gets cloudy. In spring, look for the "carpet" between 2,000 and 2,400 m in the late morning. The wind can get stronger on the crests, so remember to adapt your clothing.
