Sainte-Foy-Tarentaise is an all-mountain destination in the Upper Tarentaise which provides access to some epic big mountain riding in a wild and spectacular setting. Located on the fringes of the Vanoise National Park, the rides can cover over 1000 m of vertical drop on high-altitude singletrack, through Alpine meadows, and technical forest runs. The enduro style riding links up traditional mountain villages with peaks and glaciers forming a stunning backdrop. Routes can vary between a 15 km half-day ride to a 40 km full-day epic.

Sainte-Foy has been building trails and improving its MTB infrastructure over the last few years. Now with 4 enduro specific trails, 3 cross-country loops and a small bikepark called Envoi du Bois, Sainte-Foy is an all-mountain paradise. And with Les Arcs, Tignes and La Rosière on your doorstep, there’s no shortage of riding to keep you busy for a 2 week mountain biking holiday.
