Natur’Renard
Ski between the fir trees on the Natur’Renard trail, (piste n°25), an ungroomed blue piste where kids can discover the joys of natural skiing and learn all about the lives of foxes.
Children can call the foxes with a series of bells before discovering one in a clearing, in the form of a wooden sculpture made by a local craftsman.
Raising awareness about water preservation with Natur’protect.
Natur’Marmotte
On the edge of the piste, at the intersection of the slopes of Chapelle and Grand Solliet (above the departure station for the Marquise chairlift), come and take a break in the fun “Natur’Marmotte” area, for families and children. You can visit this sunny area without skis to have fun learning all about marmots and raising children’s awareness about protecting the environment.
A short distance away, kids can discover sleeping marmots in an old milk cellar, symbolizing a burrow, which hosts a wooden sculpture of 4 sleeping marmots.
The entrance of the cellar is protected by a grid for safety reasons.
We count on you to leave the site clean!

New: Bird protectors on the Aiguille chairlift and on the new Arpettaz chairlift
These small orange rackets, fixed on the teleport multipair cable, have the following functions
to signal the presence of cable to birds that are particularly present in this area (Capercaillie and
bearded vultures, white partridge, …)
Based on a zoning defined by the GMO (the Mountain Galliform Observatory), the Sainte Foy Tarentaise ski lifts (S.F.T.L.D.) invest in 60 Birdmarks, installed every 5 metres approximately over a distance of 400 m.

Nature skiing for our teens!

A programme suitable for children over 11. Sainte Foy’s ski area offers a multitude of gentle, ungroomed slopes, which are easily accessible from the edge of the pistes*
*If you want to ski off-piste you must know the area and be aware of weather and snow conditions. You must be fit, be a good skier and be familiar with the use of a probe, shovel and transceiver. You should also use the services of a qualified guide.
